Does anyone have the coordinates for the fire towers on the island?
Thanks all.

Use the interactive map on the trails.com website.

pulldown menu on map: set to Topos
display format: your choice, I like UTM

Thanks for the link, but trails.com is a travesty.
ETA: I take that back, it's extremely slow, and the ads are a distraction, but the mapping is quite good. Thanks again.

This may help. It's on the "old" Isle Royale Forum site that has not been maintained for several years, but is still accessible. Unfortunately it doesn't seem like you can search that web board anymore.
