2023 Map of Marquette NW

About this map

Lake Superior dominates this 2023 survey, which documents the shoreline and offshore features of Marquette County. The map provides a detailed view of the coastal geography north of the city, highlighting Little Presque Isle and the more remote Granite Island to the northeast. Along the shoreline, Granite Point marks the transition from open water to the wooded interior where Harlow Creek flows toward the lake. This modern record by the U.S. Geological Survey shows the established recreational infrastructure of the area, including the North Country National Scenic Tr and the Harlow Lake Trail. These paths, alongside Co Rd 550, indicate how contemporary land use is centered on the natural coastline and public access to the lake's edge.
