2010 Map of Stockton Island

About this map

Stockton Island emerges from the cold waters of Lake Superior in this topographical representation of one of the largest landmasses in the Apostle Islands. The island's geography is defined by its dramatic shoreline features, including the hooked peninsula of Presque Isle Point to the south and the northern reach of Trout Point. This 2010 survey reveals a landscape almost entirely shaped by natural forces and maritime proximity, where a network of inland streams drains toward the lake. The inclusion of Balancing Rock on the eastern coast highlights a specific geological landmark along the rocky perimeter that has long drawn visitors to this part of Ashland County. The map provides a clear view of the island’s interior drainages and elevation contours, which rise away from the beaches into a forested plateau.
