2011 Map of McCargoe Cove

About this map

The international maritime boundary between Canada and the United States bisects the cold waters of Lake Superior in this northern coastal survey. The landscape is dominated by a series of elongated peninsulas and sheltered inlets, most notably McCargoe Cove and Robinson Bay. These geological formations create a complex shoreline where narrow strips of land separate the open lake from interior waters like Amygdaloid Lake and Lake Eva. The presence of Amygdaloid Island, separated by the Amygdaloid Channel, illustrates the archipelago-like nature of this rugged coastline. Further south, the map details smaller protected waters including Herring Bay and Pickerel Cove, with Round Island standing at the entrance to the deeper coves. This 2011 survey documents a largely roadless wilderness defined by its primitive water-bound geography and remote international border.
