2012 Map of Wood Island

About this map

Grand Island dominates this maritime survey, illustrating the northern reaches of Alger County's island geography within Lake Superior. The interior of the island reveals a complex hydrology centered on Echo Lake, which drains southward via Echo Lake Cr. The northern coastline is defined by several prominent projections, including Gull Point, North Point, and Northeast Point, while the smaller Wood Island sits to the southwest. A network of forest roads and trails traces the island's interior, providing access to the watershed of North Light Cr and the diverse shoreline topography. The map detail indicates a landscape managed for natural preservation and recreational transit, with specific forest service data identifying high-clearance and passenger routes through the timbered interior.
