2019 Map of Whitefish Point OE S

About this map

Lake Superior dominates this nautical landscape, showing the open waters of the lake and the sheltered expanse of Whitefish Bay. In this 2019 survey, the coastline is barely visible in the upper-left corner, where N Whitefish Point Rd provides a small corridor of land-based access to the shoreline. The map focuses almost entirely on the aquatic geography of the Upper Peninsula, specifically the waters southeast of Whitefish Point. The lack of terrestrial features highlights the isolation of this stretch of Michigan’s coastline, where maritime routes were historically more significant than inland roads. The boundary lines for t50n r6w and t50n r5w indicate the offshore extension of local township divisions over the lake's surface.
