About this map

Stockton Island serves as the centerpiece of this survey, detailing the rugged geography of the Apostle Islands National Lakeshore in Lake Superior. The island's shoreline is marked by prominent landforms such as Trout Point, Balancing Rock, and the distinctive southern peninsula of Presque Isle Point. These features enclose protected waters like Presque Isle Bay and Quarry Bay, hinting at the maritime and industrial history of the archipelago.

A network of hiking paths, including the Trout Point Trl and Quarry Bay Trl, connects the interior forests to the coast. The map also includes nearby landmasses such as Cat Island, Ironwood Island, and the northern tip of Michigan Island. This modern record of the island's topography illustrates the relationship between the shifting dunes of the Tombolo Trl and the dense forest cover that characterizes this protected wilderness.
