2016 Map of Pigeon Point OE NE

About this map

Lake Superior dominates this nautical and international frontier, where the territorial waters of the United States and Canada meet. The map focuses on the easternmost reach of the Arrowhead Region, centered on the narrow peninsula of Pigeon Point. This remote finger of land serves as a critical geographic marker for the maritime boundary between Minnesota and Michigan, specifically where Cook County and Keweenaw County intersect in the open water. The cartography illustrates the stark transition from the rocky northern shoreline into the expansive depths of the lake, providing a clear view of the international border that runs just south of the point. Given the sparse terrestrial development, the map is primarily a study of coastal topography and the political demarcations of the Great Lakes.
