1956 Map of Split Rock Point NE

USGS Topo · Published 1958

About this map

Split Rock Lighthouse stands as the primary landmark on this mid-century survey of the Lake County shoreline. The map documents the dramatic meeting of land and water where the township of Beaver Bay meets the vast expanse of Lake Superior. The coastal topography is defined by sharp indentations and small protective harbors, including Islet Bay, Pine Bay, and the interestingly named Little Two Harbors. Offshore, the survey notes hazards like Gull Rock, providing a detailed record of the navigable waters and the rugged North Shore landscape as it appeared in the 1950s. The dense contour lines along the coast reveal the significant elevation changes that necessitated the iconic lighthouse for maritime safety.
