2014 Map of Bliss

About this map

Sturgeon Bay Point and the waters of Lake Michigan dominate the western edge of this Emmet County landscape. The interior is a mixture of wetlands and rising terrain, where the N Country National Scenic Trail winds past Wycamp Lake and climbs toward the summit of Billiau Hill. In the northern reaches, the map details the intricate drainage of Little Sucker Cr and Big Sucker Cr as they flow toward Big Stone Bay. Local history is centered around the small settlement of Bliss and the nearby Bliss Township Cem, reflecting a rural community structure that has persisted for generations. Further south, Canby Corners marks a crossroads in a landscape punctuated by smaller water bodies like O'Neal Lake and Canada Goose Pond. The survey captures the transition from the sandy shoreline to the higher elevations of Mtn Nebo in the northeast.
