About this map

The Huron National Wildlife Refuge encompasses a series of rocky outcroppings in Lake Superior, including McIntyre Island, Gull Island, and the broader Huron Islands chain. These offshore features represent an essential wilderness corridor managed for conservation along the northern coastline of Marquette County.

On the mainland, the landscape is defined by the significant elevations of the Huron Mountains and the solitary peak of Huron Mountain. A complex hydrological network connects inland waters like Howe Lake, Rush Lake, and Pine Lake with the Little Huron River, which drains toward the lake near Huron River Point. The absence of dense road networks or residential developments underscores the preserved, natural character of this remote Lake Superior shoreline.
