2017 Map of Manitou Island

About this map

Keweenaw Point marks the northeastern tip of the mainland in this coastal survey, where the terrestrial landscape yields to the expanse of Lake Superior. The topography is defined by significant inland water bodies such as Schlatter Lake and Gill Lake, which sit just west of the peninsula's terminus. To the east, across a narrow channel, lies Manitou Island, flanked by smaller formations like Gull Rock. This area represents a quiet, unpopulated stretch of the Upper Peninsula, accessible via the Rocket-Rouge Trl. The map details the complex shoreline interaction of High Rock Bay and the dual inlets of North Bay and South Bay on the island. The drainage patterns of small coastal streams, including Union Cr, illustrate the watershed flow into the surrounding Great Lake.
