2018 Map of Michigan Island OE S

About this map

Lake Superior dominates this nautical landscape, capturing the cold expanse of the open water where Ashland and Iron County boundaries meet in the southern portion of the Great Lake. The map focuses on the waters just south of the northernmost tip of Michigan Island, a small portion of which appears in the northwest corner as part of the Apostle Islands National Lakeshore. This survey highlights the significant distance between landmasses in this part of the archipelago, illustrating the isolation and specialized maritime environment of the Apostle Islands. While land is sparse on this specific sheet, it serves as a critical reference for the aquatic territory that connects the island chain to the Wisconsin mainland.
