2011 Map of Point Houghton

About this map

Siskiwit Bay and the surrounding wilderness of Isle Royale dominate this coastal survey. The landscape is defined by the prominent Houghton Ridge, which terminates at Point Houghton near the Houghton Point Passage. This area serves as a significant intersection of land and water, where the inland Little Siskiwit River feeds toward the coast, and Lake Desor provides a large freshwater feature in the interior. Human presence is primarily represented through established campsites such as Siskiwit Bay Campground and Hay Bay Campground, reflecting the area's role as a protected natural space. Maritime features including Fishermans Home Cove, Brandsford Reef, and Butterfield Shoal emphasize the complex shoreline that has long guided navigation on Lake Superior.
