2017 Map of Windigo

About this map

Windigo serves as the primary outpost at the southwestern end of Isle Royale National Park, where the island’s wilderness meets the expansive waters of Lake Superior. The landscape is defined by the parallel elevations of Minong Ridge and Greenstone Ridge, which channel waterways like Washington Creek and Grace Creek toward the sheltered deep-water inlets. This 2017 survey shows the intricate coastal geography of Washington Harbor and Grace Harbor, protected by a chain of smaller landmasses including Beaver Island, Thompson Island, and Johns Island. The map details important shore access points such as Agate Beach and Huginnin Cove, illustrating the intersection of navigation and terrain that has shaped this remote Michigan archipelago. The boundary markings for t64n r39w and surrounding townships reflect the underlying public land survey system that partitions this island territory within Keweenaw County.
