About this map

Isle Royale National Park dominates this mid-1980s landscape, illustrating the remote northern reaches of the island where wilderness management and hiker access intersect. The mapping reveals a series of prominent geological folds, most notably the Minong Ridge and Greenstone Ridge, which dictate the movement across the interior. At Ishpeming Point, a Lookout Tower serves as a critical vantage point over the dense forest and the waters of Lake Superior.

Along the rugged coastline, features like Little Todd Harbor and Thompsonite Beach provide refuge for those traveling by water or foot. The interior is anchored by the large expanse of Lake Desor, bordered by the North Lake Desor Campground and South Lake Desor Campground. This survey serves as a vital record of the park's trail and campground infrastructure before the turn of the millennium, following the drainage of the Siskiwit R toward the southwest.
