About this map

St James serves as the northern hub of activity on this island landscape in the mid-1980s, centered around the protected waters of Saint James Harbor. The village is marked by its Lighthouse and ferry dock, connecting this isolated Lake Michigan community to the mainland. The interior of the island reveals a complex hydrology of inland bodies such as Font Lake, Barneys Lake, and Egg Lake, surrounded by the Mackinaw State Forest. Extensive wetlands like Sweeney Swamp and Green Swamp dominate the northern terrain between the harbor and Donegal Bay. Coastal features vary from the sandy stretches of Sand Bay to the distinct points of McCauley Point and Point La Par. Infrastructure such as the Beaver Island Airport and Weike Airport highlights the island's reliance on air and water travel during this era.
