Lake Michigan dominates this coastal survey, where the deep waters east of Beaver Island are traversed by the long maritime path of the Beaver Island Ferry. The map focuses primarily on the open water and the underwater topography of the northern lake, yet it captures a vital slice of the island's eastern shoreline. Land-based features are concentrated in the northwest corner, where the coastal road E Side Dr follows the contours of the land between Martin Point and Kilty Point. This area illustrates the isolated nature of the island's geography, showing the sparse infrastructure and natural points that define the transition from the forested interior to the lake. The inclusion of the ferry route provides a clear indication of the essential transportation link between the mainland and the island community.
