2011 Map of Lake Richie OE S

About this map

Lake Superior dominates this nautical landscape off the coast of Isle Royale, where the deep waters of the Great Lakes meet the island's jagged northern shoreline. The map focuses primarily on the maritime environment of Keweenaw County, highlighting critical underwater and coastal navigation points. Glenlyon Shoal sits as a significant submerged feature in the open water, while the thin strip of land along the northern edge of the sheet reveals sheltered inlets and stony shorelines. Locations like Vodrey Harbor and the stretches of Greenstone Beach and Little Greenstone Beach suggest the remote, untouched character of this wilderness area. This 2011 survey provides a precise spatial record of these coastal features, essential for understanding the maritime geography and historical shipwrecks associated with this section of the island.
