1963 Map of Outer Island

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

Outer Island Light stands at the northern tip of the easternmost island in the Apostle Islands chain, marking a critical point for maritime navigation in Lake Superior. This survey captures the island's isolation and its topographic detail, defined by the Fourth Principal Meridian which bisects the landmass. The island's geography features Austad Bay on its eastern shore and the sharp projection of Sand Point at its southern extremity. Beyond the shore, hydrographic data reveals the underwater hazards of the Outer Island Shoal. The map serves as a record of this offshore outpost during the early 1960s, showing the precise township and range boundaries including T 53 N and T 52 N as they relate to the natural landforms of the archipelago.
