2013 Map of Oak Island

About this map

Lake Superior surrounds the northern reaches of the Apostle Islands in this modern survey of the archipelago. Central to the map is Oak Island, whose topography is defined by significant elevation changes that drop toward the Clay Banks on its western shore. To the northeast, Manitou Island hosts the Manitou Camp, representing a rare point of human activity in this otherwise nature-dominated landscape. The map details the maritime hazards of the area, specifically identifying the Oak Island Shoal and the rocky southeastern projection of Quarry Point. Smaller landmasses such as Otter Island and Hermit Island frame the central passage, illustrating the scattered geography of this lake-bound region.
