2011 Map of Pigeon Point

About this map

Pigeon Point marks a distinctive landscape where the northern waters of Lake Superior meet the international border. In this 2011 survey, the map shows the rugged archipelago dotting the coast, including the larger Susie Island and Lucille Island, alongside smaller outcrops like Magnet Island and Gull Rock. The terrain is characterized by these narrow, elongated islands that parallel the shoreline, a testament to the region's geological structure. The Pigeon River flows along the northwestern edge of the sheet, defining the boundary between Minnesota and Canada. Maritime navigation and transit are indicated by the Grand Portage-Isle Royale route, which traverses the open waters. This map is an essential reference for understanding the modern coastal geography of this remote boundary region.
