2010 Map of Michigan Island

About this map

Michigan Island and the neighboring waters of Lake Superior define this coastal landscape in the Apostle Islands region. The map documents the northern tip of Michigan Island and its relationship to the smaller landmass of Gull Island to the northeast. A prominent feature of the area is the Gull Island Light, a critical navigational aid for maritime traffic moving through these Great Lakes waters. Further north, the prominent shoreline at Sand Point marks the edge of the mainland or larger island masses, highlighting the navigational channels and natural shoreline of the early 21st century. This map focuses primarily on the maritime geography and coastal landmarks of this remote Wisconsin archipelago.
