1951 Map of Whitefish Point

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Whitefish Point serves as the focal point of this coastal survey, where the waters of Lake Superior meet Whitefish Bay. This shoreline landscape is dominated by the Lake Superior State Forest, a geography shaped by the maritime necessities of the mid-twentieth century. Near the tip of the point, the USCG Radio Sta and Fog Warning Sta and various Towers reflect the area's critical role in Great Lakes navigation. A small Cem and Little Lake sit tucked within the forested interior, while Whitefish Road provides the primary overland connection to this northern reach of the Upper Peninsula. The map preserves a quiet, functional era of maritime safety before later developments changed the character of this iconic Michigan landmark.
