About this map

Washburn sits along the western shoreline of Chequamegon Bay, serving as a coastal anchor in this 2015 survey of the Lake Superior coastline. The geography is defined by a series of narrow sand spits and peninsulas, most notably Long Island and the adjacent Chequamegon Point, which together form a protective barrier for the inner bay. These features are part of the Apostle Islands National Lakeshore, a protected landscape where shifting sands and shoreline processes remain evident.

Further south, the map details the residential and rural layout of the mainland, including the Old Dairy Airport and the prominent protrusion of Houghton Point. The road network, featuring names like Frostman Rd and Houghton Falls Rd, provides a clear view of how development has integrated with the coastal topography. Across the water, Oak Point marks the southeastern boundary of this aquatic landscape, emphasizing the intricate relationship between the bay and the open lake.
