About this map

Beaver Island emerges from the waters of Lake Michigan in this 2017 survey, showcasing the southern reaches of the archipelago. The landscape is defined by a dense network of marshes and inland waters, most notably Lake Geneserath and Millers Marsh. The road network, including W Side Rd and E Side Dr, circles the island's perimeter, connecting remote coastal points like Cheyenne Point and Kelly Point.

A notable concentration of recreation and natural hydrology is found on the southern coast, where Iron Ore Cr flows into Iron Ore Bay. The eastern shoreline is marked by a series of indentations including Cable Bay and McCauley Bay, with the Beaver Island Public Beach serving as a central landmark for visitors. This map captures the modern layout of the island's trails and access roads, such as Doddy's Trl and Betsy Smith Trl, which navigate the interior wetlands and wooded terrain.
