2011 Map of Trout Island

About this map

Trout Island stands as the central terrestrial feature of this maritime survey, located within the expansive waters of Lake Michigan. The map illustrates the island's isolated position, surrounded by the submerged hazards of the Trout Island Shoal to the west. This 2011 edition focuses almost entirely on the hydrography and bathymetric context of this portion of the Beaver Island archipelago. With no roads, buildings, or infrastructure recorded on the landmass, the documentation emphasizes the natural shoreline and the surrounding shoal waters, providing a clear record of the island's geography before shifting lake levels or environmental changes might alter its coastal profile.
