1985 Map of Malone Bay

USGS Topo · Published 1986

About this map

Isle Royale National Park is defined by its complex archipelago of islands and reefs along the northern reaches of Lake Superior in the mid-1980s. The south-central coastline of the island features the deep waters of Siskiwit Bay, protected by a chain of smaller landmasses including Malone Island, Wright Island, and the distant Menagerie Island, where the Isle Royale Lighthouse stands as a sentinel. The map reveals the intricate aquatic geography of the region, detailing numerous hazardous shoals like Glenlyon Shoal and Butterfield Shoal, as well as named reefs such as Harlem Reef and San Antonio Reef. On the main island, the Malone Bay Campground and a nearby Ranger Station mark the intersections of human activity and wilderness near the mouth of the Siskiwit R. A single Trail follows the northern ridge above Siskiwit Lake, suggesting the isolation and maritime character of this Lake Superior preserve.
