2013 Map of Pigeon Point

About this map

Pigeon Point marks the northeastern tip of Minnesota where the international boundary between Canada and the United States meets the open waters of Lake Superior. This aquatic landscape is dominated by a cluster of named islands and rocks, including Susie Island, Lucille Island, and Magnet Island, which provide a detailed look at the maritime geography of Cook County. The map also delineates the complex state border between Minnesota and Michigan, cutting through the lake toward the Keweenaw Peninsula. An essential transport link for the region is noted with the path of the Grand Portage - Isle Royale Ferry, which traverses the southern portion of the sheet. Other smaller landforms like Gull Rock and Porcupine Island stand out as navigation points in this borderlands environment.
