2017 Map of Adams Point

About this map

Adams Point projects into the expansive waters of Lake Huron on this coastal portion of Presque Isle County. The shoreline is characterized by a series of distinct water bodies that sit just inland from the Great Lake, including the larger Swan Lake and Big Trout Lake, along with the smaller Little Lake and Little Trout Lake. These features suggest a landscape of coastal wetlands and ridges typical of the northern Michigan lakeside. The Swan River provides a key drainage point for the interior basins as they move toward the lake. This survey focuses on the northern edge of the Michigan mainland within townships T35N R6E and T34N R6E, documenting the natural geography of the lakefront before it gives way to the open water of the Huron basin.
