2013 Map of Split Rock Point NE

About this map

Split Rock Lighthouse stands as a sentinel on the North Shore, perched above the expansive waters of Lake Superior. This 2013 survey illustrates a rugged coastal stretch of Lake County where the topography rises sharply from the shoreline, reaching elevations over 1,300 feet within a short distance of the water. The corridor for MN-61 snakes along the bluff line, tracing the natural contour of the coast. Offshore, the small outcrop of Gull Rock is one of the few named terrain features in an area dominated by the interface of deep water and steep woodland. The map detail highlights the sparse infrastructure characteristic of this protected corridor, focusing on the preservation of the landmark lighthouse site and the essential highway link between coastal communities.
