2023 Map of Marquette OE E

About this map

Lake Superior dominates this 2023 survey of the waters off the Upper Peninsula coastline, where the rugged maritime geography of Marquette Bay meets the open lake. The map documents the northern reaches of Marquette and the adjacent community of Harvey, situated along the southern curve of the bay. Navigation points like Lighthouse Point and the prominent Presque Isle Point Rocks highlight the natural hazards and landmarks that have guided shipping in this region for generations. Because the vast majority of this sheet covers the deep water of the Great Lakes, it provides a clear view of the bathymetric context and shoreline orientation of Michigan's historic iron-ore port city during the early 21st century.
