2011 Map of Mawikwe Bay

About this map

Lake Superior dominates the landscape of this coastal survey, where the cold waters meet the northern edge of Bayfield County. The shoreline is defined by the prominent Squaw Point, which separates the open water from more sheltered coastal reaches. Offshore, the isolated Eagle Island sits amidst the Eagle Island Shoals, marking a significant navigational feature for this section of the Great Lakes. Inland, the topography is relatively sparse, carved by the modest path of Saxine Creek as it flows toward the bay. A small network of local roads including Squaw Bay Rd, Olson Rd, and Happy Hollow Rd provides access to this quiet, rural coastline. The arrangement of these roads and the family names like McCutcheon Rd reflect the dispersed residential character of the Bell area during this period.
