2019 Map of Bigsbie Lake

About this map

Lake Michigan dominates the western half of this coastal survey, where the shoreline of Oceana County meets the freshwater sea at Little Sable Point. The landscape is defined by the interaction of shifting dunes and inland waters, with the namesake Bigsbie Lake tucked behind the coastal ridge. Further south, the community at Stony Lake serves as a focal point for local settlement, situated where the inland lake nearly meets the Great Lake shore. A network of local roads including Peaceful Valley Rd, Sable Point Dr, and Ottawattamie Trl provides access to these waterfront properties and seasonal retreats. The map illustrates the specialized geography of the Michigan fruit belt and resort country, characterized by narrow paved ways and distinctive residential clusters along the bluff tops.
