About this map

Isle Royale National Park dominates this portion of the Lake Superior wilderness, where the island's characteristic linear ridges define the landscape. The northern coastline is marked by the sheltered waters of Little Todd Harbor and the smaller Todd Cove, with Gull Rocks lying just offshore in Lake Superior. A clear maritime boundary marks the international line between Canada and the United States of America, running through the open water north of the island.

Overland travel is restricted to footpaths that follow the island's backbone. The Minong Ridge Trail and Greenstone Ridge Trail traverse the primary elevations of Minong Ridge and Greenstone Ridge, respectively. Near the western edge of the shoreline, Thomsonite Beach sits below the steep slopes, while the Little Todd Access Trail provides the sole charted route from the interior ridges down to the harbor. This layout highlights the island's isolation and its status as a protected wilderness area with no established road network.
