Lake Superior dominates this nautical and shoreline perspective of the Alger County coast, capturing a nearly pristine stretch of the Upper Peninsula’s northern edge. The map focuses on the interface between the open water and the shoreline of Munising Township, where the terrain rises to meet the Great Lake. A primary geographic highlight is the presence of Bridalveil Falls, a notable coastal feature where water meets the rocky perimeter of the lake. This 2011 edition, produced by the U.S. Geological Survey, reflects the modern topography of the area, preserving the exact coordinates of the shoreline and its hydrological features for researchers and local historians.
