2014 Map of Wood Island

About this map

Lake Superior dominates the landscape of this 2014 survey, surrounding the northern reach of Grand Island. The island is largely preserved within the Hiawatha National Forest, featuring a varied coastline marked by North Point and Northeast Point to the north and Trout Bay along its southeastern edge. The interior of the island contains Echo Lake, a significant inland water body that suggests the complex drainage patterns of this larger island landmass. To the west, the smaller Wood Island sits isolated, and the map provides detailed township and range lines, such as t48n r19w, which delineate the administrative grid of Alger County. The absence of heavy development on these islands highlights their status as protected forest land, characterized by topographic relief and intricate shorelines shaped by the lake.
