1958 Map of Wood Island

USGS Topo · Published 1959

About this map

Grand Island dominates this mid-century maritime survey, sitting prominently within the cold waters of Lake Superior. The interior of the island features the secluded Echo Lake, while its rugged perimeter is marked by North Point and a solitary Lighthouse on the northern shore. The map illustrates a landscape largely shaped by federal conservation and natural wonder, capturing the northern edge of the Hiawatha National Forest and the celebrated formations of the Pictured Rocks along the mainland coast. Between the mainland and the island's southern reach lies Trout Bay, a sheltered pocket in an otherwise exposed nautical environment. This survey provides a clear view of the area's geography before the era of intensive modern tourism, focusing on the essential coastal landmarks and timberlands of Alger County.
