2018 Map of Long Island

About this map

Washburn sits on the western shore of Chequamegon Bay in this 2018 survey of the Lake Superior coastline. The map details the delicate barrier formations of the Apostle Islands National Lakeshore, including the slender arc of Long Island and its extension at Chequamegon Point. This coastal landscape reveals a mix of recreational shoreline and rural infrastructure, where local roads like Houghton Falls Rd and S Houghton Point Rd lead to prominent landforms such as Houghton Point. On the mainland, the Old Dairy Airport serves as a distinct landmark near the northern edge of the settlement. The boundary between Bayfield and Ashland counties runs through the open waters of Lake Superior, bisecting the bay and separating the mainland from the shifting sands of the Apostle Islands archipelago.
