About this map

Wisconsin Point extends dramatically into Lake Superior, sheltering the waters of Allouez Bay in this coastal landscape southeast of Superior. The terrain is defined by the drainage networks of the Amnicon River, Dutchman Cr, and Morrison Cr, which carve through the lowland before reaching the lake shore. Small settlements like Parkland and Cutter are situated inland, connected by a network of rural routes including E State Rd 13 and Co Rd Z.

The map reveals a transition from the established roads and residential clusters near the shoreline to the more sparsely developed forest and marshland further south. Long stretches of coastal infrastructure are visible, specifically Wisconsin Point Rd and Moccasin Mike Rd, which provide access to the unique sand spit landform. Local history is preserved in the naming of rural thoroughfares such as Papineau Rd, Walsh Rd, and Hanson Rd, indicating the family-owned parcels and early homesteads that shaped this part of Douglas County.
