1956 Map of Bar Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1982

About this map

Lake Michigan dominates the western half of this survey, defining a coastline of narrow beaches and shifting dunes where the Manistee National Forest meets the water. The landscape is shaped by the complex hydrology of the shoreline, featuring Portage Lake and Bar Lake, which are separated from the main lake by thin peninsulas like Portage Point. To the south, the city of Manistee serves as the industrial and population hub, situated at the junction of Manistee Lake and the lakefront.
