2019 Map of Point Isabelle

About this map

Point Isabelle marks a prominent landform on the Keweenaw Peninsula, where the wetlands of the interior meet the expanse of Lake Superior. This 2019 survey documents a landscape defined by water and woods, showing the southern reach of Bete Grise Bay as it transitions into Oliver Bay. The only significant thoroughfare in this area is Gay Rd, which skirts the edge of the wetlands and provides access to the shoreline. Near the northern boundary of the map, the eastern edge of Lac La Belle is visible, illustrating the hydrological connection between inland waters and the Great Lakes. The map provides a contemporary record of the public land survey system lines for t58n r29w and t57n r29w, which continue to define property and administrative boundaries in this part of Michigan.
