About this map

Isle Royale National Park dominates this terrain, showcasing a complex network of ridges and glacial water bodies in the heart of Lake Superior. The landscape is defined by the parallel elevations of Greenstone Ridge and Minong Ridge, which dictate the flow of numerous waterways such as Washington Cr and Grace Cr. High points like Sugar Mtn and Mt Desor overlook the interior's larger basins, including Lake Desor and Lake Halloran.

Evidence of human history on this remote island is preserved at the Isle Royale Cem, located near the southeastern shore. The coastal geography is marked by distinctive features like Finlander Reef in the northwest and Carnelian Beach in the east. This survey captures the island's drainage patterns, where the Little Siskowit River and Big Siskowit River carve through the wilderness toward the lake.
