2023 Map of Beaver Island South OE W

USGS Topo · Published 2023

About this map

Lake Michigan dominates this nautical landscape, capturing a quiet expanse of the archipelago's waters west of the mainland. The map centers on the open water and the submerged hazards of the lakebed, most notably Richards Reef. This limestone formation, hidden beneath the surface, is a critical reference point for maritime navigation in the passage. Along the eastern edge of the sheet, the western shoreline of Beaver Island emerges. This coastal fringe includes the sheltered waters of French Bay, providing a look at the island's natural geometry and the rugged boundary between the land and the vast freshwater sea. The presence of the Public Land Survey System grid, including sections of t37n r11w, offers a framework for researchers and genealogists tracing historic property lines and offshore boundaries in this remote corner of Charlevoix County.
