2015 Map of Sand Island

About this map

Sand Island and the mainland shores of Lake Superior define this coastal landscape within the Apostle Islands National Lakeshore. On the island, distinct features such as Lighthouse Bay, Swallow Point, and Justice Bay mark the northern perimeter, while the interior is preserved as part of the Chequamegon National Forest. The mainland portion of the map illustrates the rural character of the region, featuring the small settlement at Sand Bay and a network of local routes like Sand Point Rd and Co Hwy K. Watercourses such as the Sand River and Raspberry River drain into the lake, highlighting the drainage patterns of the Bayfield peninsula. This survey provides clear documentation of the public land boundaries and the coastal geography of the Apostle Islands archipelago as it existed in the early 21st century.
