About this map

Isle Royale National Park dominates this map of a remote island interior, where the Isle Royale Wilderness protects a quiet landscape of ridges and wetlands. The northern edge of the sheet captures a portion of Isle Royale, specifically the terrain near Stickleback Lake and the rocky outcrops of McCormick Rocks. Surrounded by the vast expanse of Lake Superior, this area reflects the primitive state of the island's interior before the introduction of significant modern infrastructure. The presence of section boundaries like t63n r37w suggests the underlying cadastral survey that organized this land, even as it transitioned into a preserved national wilderness. This map is particularly valuable for understanding the geographical isolation and natural borders that define this northern Keweenaw County territory.
