2019 Map of Beaver Island South OE W

About this map

Lake Michigan dominates this coastal survey, where the open waters meet the western edge of Beaver Island. This specific offshore perspective provides a clear view of the underwater topography and maritime hazards, most notably Richards Reef, situated well west of the island's shoreline. The map documents the aquatic border between Charlevoix County and Leelanau County, which runs diagonally through the lake. For those studying the geography of the northern archipelago, the map also identifies the land boundaries of Township 37 North, Range 11 West as it intersects the westernmost fringe of the island.
