2010 Map of Michigan Island OE S

About this map

The vast expanse of Lake Superior dominates this nautical landscape in the Apostle Islands region. In the northwestern corner of the quadrangle, the Michigan Island Light stands as the primary navigational landmark, marking the edge of a landmass that mostly falls outside this specific sheet. This survey focuses almost entirely on the open water and the maritime approach to the islands, illustrating the strategic importance of the light station for vessels navigating the western reaches of the Great Lakes in the early twenty-first century.
