1964 Map of Madeline Island

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

Madeline Island dominates this mid-1960s survey of the Apostle archipelago, showing a landscape defined by its relation to the surrounding waters of Lake Superior. The interior of the island reveals a network of rural roads and clearings, with Greenwood Cem and several small structures marking the settled areas of La Pointe Twp. Along the northeastern shore, Apostle Islands State Forest preserves the wooded character of the island, while specialized features like the Big Bay Lagoon and a designated Picnic Area point to the island's role as a recreational destination. On the western side, a Quarry and Floating Rock serve as landmarks for those navigating the West Channel and North Channel. The detailed hydrographic data, including soundings in Big Bay and Chebomnicon Bay, highlights the maritime importance of the channels that separate Madeline from nearby Basswood Island.
