2014 Map of Laughing Fish Point OE E

About this map

Lake Superior dominates this coastal survey, where the deep waters of the Great Lakes meet the northern edge of Alger County. The terrain is defined by a narrow strip of coastal development along Shore Dr, which follows the contour of the shoreline before the land rises into the timbered ridges of the Upper Peninsula. These elevations are marked by the survey boundaries of t48n r22w, t48n r21w, t47n r22w, and t47n r21w. The map illustrates the transition from the vast open water of the lake to the surveyed township lines that structured land ownership and resource management in this corner of Onota Township during the early twenty-first century.
