2016 Map of Split Rock Point OE S

About this map

Lake Superior dominates this nautical landscape off the North Shore, capturing the open waters of the world's largest freshwater lake in the mid-2010s. Located offshore from the rugged Minnesota coastline, the map focuses on the deep-water expanses southeast of the Split Rock lighthouse area. The bathymetric and hydrographic data provided by the U.S. Geological Survey reflects the modern maritime mapping of this stretch of the Great Lakes. The lack of land-based infrastructure emphasizes the scale of the lake itself, making this a specific reference for sailors, historians of Great Lakes shipping, and those tracking the environmental data of the Lake Superior basin.
