About this map

The coastal village of Cedarville serves as the gateway to the intricate archipelago of the Les Cheneaux Islands in this mid-1960s study of Michigan’s Upper Peninsula shoreline. The map reveals a landscape defined by deep-water channels and protected bays, including Cedarville Bay and Muscallonge Bay, which shaped the area’s maritime character. Large landmasses like La Salle Island and Marquette Island dominate the foreground of Lake Huron, separated by narrow passages such as the Bosely Channel and Middle Entrance.

Industrial development is centered at Port Dolomite, where an Industrial Railroad and gaging station supported the local mineral economy. Land use across the islands varies from the timbered reaches of the Munuscong State Forest to the federally protected Government Island within the Hiawatha National Forest. Genealogists and local historians can trace family-named landmarks such as Ailes Point, Wisners Point, and Jocker Point that punctuate the complex northern shoreline.
