2014 Map of Whitefish Point OE S

About this map

Lake Superior dominates this nautical landscape, illustrating the vast aquatic expanse of the Upper Peninsula just south of the Canadian border. The map focuses primarily on the open waters of Whitefish Bay, a critical passage for Great Lakes shipping that has historically shaped the maritime identity of Chippewa County. A small portion of the shoreline is visible in the upper left corner, where N Whitefish Point Rd provides a terrestrial link toward the point. This 2014 survey documents the shoreline within t50n r6w and t50n r5w, reflecting the sparse human footprint on this northern edge of Michigan's wilderness. The survey serves as a modern snapshot of a coast defined by its relationship to the deep, cold waters of the world's largest freshwater lake.
