Rocky Island and several neighboring landforms in the Apostle Islands archipelago define this 2011 survey, situated within the cold waters of Lake Superior. The map centers on the isolated outpost of Hadland Fishing Camp on the southeastern shore of Rocky Island, providing a clear look at the human footprint in this maritime environment. To the north, the solitary landmass of Devils Island is flanked by the underwater hazards of Devils Island Shoal, while South Twin Island sits to the east, illustrating the clustered geography of these northernmost Wisconsin islands. This edition is particularly useful for maritime historians and those interested in the legacy of commercial fishing and island habitation in Ashland County.
