Detailed Apostle Islands maps

Here’s a Sand Island map, showing an overview of the island as well as the trail along Justice Bay and Lighthouse Bay to the lighthouse from the dock and the campsites.

This Oak Island map shows the various trails, beaches, campsites, overlooks, and ranger station on Oak Island. Specific sites like Hole-in-the-Wall and the island’s high point are identified.

This is a Basswood Island map, showing the trails and farm sites on Basswood Island, located just across West Channel from Red Cliff and the Bayfield Peninsula. Trails and campsites are labeled too.

Here’s a Stockton Island map, showing the Quarry Bay Trail, Trout Point Trail, Tombolo Trail, and others, along with campsites, the ranger station, quarry, dock, and rock formations.

This Julian Bay trail map zooms in on the southern end of Stockton Island. It shows the dock and visitor center in additional detail as well as the several trails in this area around Anderson Point.

Here’s a Long Island map, featuring the LaPointe Lighthouse, Chequamegon Point Lighthouse, and the campsite on this diminutive island. Quite a contrast with Stockton Island above!

The maps above are great for showing the general lay of the land on each island. However, if you’re wanting more detail in the form of topographic lines and Lake Superior depths, you’ll want to go with the National Geographic Trails Illustrated map of Apostle Islands. This is the map you want if you’re doing any backcountry camping, returning for multiple visits, or spending significant time in Apostle Islands.
