2013 Map of Superior

About this map

Sky Harbor Airport and the Sky Harbor Seaplane Base sit at the end of Minnesota Point, where the harbor meets the open waters of Lake Superior. This survey captures the complex industrial and maritime geography of the Twin Ports area, focusing on the Wisconsin side. The urban grid of East End and Park Place Homes transitions into the heavy infrastructure of the Superior Harbor Basin, defined by deep-water slips like Howards Bay and Hughitt Slip. Further south, the map reveals a collection of rail-oriented settlements including Itasca, Ambridge, and Saunders, showing how transportation networks shaped the growth of these neighborhoods near the Nemadji River. The presence of the Richard I Bong Airport and extensive NP Railroad tracks highlights the region's importance as a logistics hub for the Great Lakes.
