2010 Map of Split Rock Point OE S

About this map

Lake Superior's expansive waters dominate this area of Silver Creek Township, where the North Shore's transportation history is defined by the narrow corridor of Highway 61. This survey, focusing on the offshore reaches near Split Rock Point, illustrates the maritime environment of the Lake County coast. The terrestrial landscape is sparse on this particular sheet, emphasizing the importance of the sole roadway connection between the scattered settlements of the Minnesota shoreline and the industrial ports to the south. Local researchers can examine the underwater contours and coastal boundary as they existed at the end of the first decade of the 21st century.
