2011 Map of Bay Port West

About this map

Wild Fowl Bay and the intricate archipelago of islands along the eastern edge of Saginaw Bay define this coastal landscape. The map shows a transition from the deeper waters of Lake Huron into a complex system of shallow inlets and islands, including the large Heisterman Island, Maisou Island, and Middle Grounds Island. On the mainland, the settlement of Bay Port sits near Wild Fowl Point, while further south, the communities of Weale and Rose Island are connected by a grid of rural roads like Rose Island Rd and Kilmanagh Rd. This survey documents a shoreline defined by both natural drainage from Shebeon Creek and human-engineered waterways such as Dynamite Cut, Boxcar Cut, and Rush Cut, which highlight the area's history of navigation and water management.
