2011 Map of Bay Shore

About this map

Lake Michigan dominates the northern horizon of this coastal landscape, where the settlement of Bay Shore sits along the southern shore. The 2011 survey reveals a transitional area of northern Michigan defined by its prominent water bodies, including the irregular finger-like reach of Walloon Lake and the northern tip of Lake Charlevoix. Transportation history is visible through the Abandoned Rail corridor that roughly parallels Old US 31 Hwy, tracing the former industrial and passenger routes of the region. Local genealogy is well-supported by the inclusion of several burial grounds, such as North Bay Cemetery, Horton Bay Cemetery, and Dyer Cemetery. On the northeastern shore, the Penn-Dixie Cement Corporation marks a significant industrial footprint near the water's edge, while residential pockets like Zenith Heights and Horton Bay dot the inland shoreline.
