2011 Map of Point Houghton OE S

About this map

Lake Superior dominates this nautical and coastal landscape off the Keweenaw Peninsula, where the open waters of the Great Lakes meet the rugged northern shoreline of Michigan. The map highlights the sparse but significant geographic landmarks that define this maritime environment, including the small interior basin of Stickleback Lake tucked just inland from the coast. Nearby, McCormick Rocks serves as a critical point of reference for navigation along the rocky littoral zone. This 2011 survey captures the area in its modern state, emphasizing the isolation and preserved natural character of Eagle Harbor Township's furthest reaches, where land and water are the primary features of interest for researchers and maritime historians.
