2015 Map of York Island

About this map

Apostle Islands National Lakeshore dominates this coastal landscape, protecting several major islands including York Island, Raspberry Island, and the western edge of Oak Island. On the mainland, the terrain is defined by the drainages of the Raspberry River and Frog Cr, which flow through the forested uplands of Bayfield County into Lake Superior. The transition from land to water is marked by distinctive shoreline features such as Red Cliff Point and the shallow Marina Shoal. Inland, a network of rural roads like Point Detour Rd and Blueberry Rd serves scattered residences and provide access to the Petit Cache Airport. The map highlights the proximity of these islands to the mainland peninsula, particularly at Detour, where the distance between the shore and the islands is shortest, illustrating the navigational character of the West Channel.
