2011 Map of Vermilion SE

About this map

Lake Superior dominates this coastal survey, where the southern shoreline of the Great Lake meets the low-lying wetlands of Whitefish Township. The map depicts a transitional landscape of water and sand, characterized by a series of small, inland water bodies including Weatherhogs Lake, Marsh Lakes, and Little Lake. These features are separated from the open water by narrow coastal strips, reflecting the dynamic geomorphology of Michigan's Upper Peninsula. Development is minimal, limited primarily to a sparse network of unpaved or local access routes such as W Dune Rd, W Wild Cat Rd, and Whitefish-Lake Superior Rd. The layout of these roads suggests a landscape shaped by seasonal access and traditional land use rather than intensive settlement, providing a clear record of the area's rural character in the early 21st century.
