About this map

Manitou Island and the jagged eastern extremity of the Keweenaw Peninsula define this maritime landscape in Lake Superior. This survey documents a critical navigational threshold where the mainland terminates at Keweenaw Point and gives way to the open waters of the lake. The geography is characterized by several protected coastal features, including High Rock Bay, Keystone Bay, and the separate harbors of North Bay and South Bay on the island itself.

Inland from the rocky shoreline, the terrain holds freshwater bodies like Schlatter Lake and Gill Lake, which are drained by small waterways such as Union Cr. Positioned between the mainland and the larger island, Gull Rock stands as a prominent maritime landmark. The map detail reflects the untouched character of this remote Michigan coast, where topographic markers like Fadner Point serve as primary identifiers in an area dominated by natural water and rock formations.
