Lake Michigan dominates this survey of the Grand Traverse County shoreline, revealing the narrow coastal fringe of the Old Mission Peninsula as it appeared in the early 21st century. The map focuses primarily on the open water of the Great Lakes, with a thin ribbon of land along the eastern edge capturing the residential and access roads that serve this maritime landscape. Local transportation is limited to a handful of routes, including Bayview Dr, S Golden Beach Dr, and Creswell Ln, which follow the contours of the shoreline. This 2011 record is essential for understanding the modern development patterns and coastal orientation of this specific portion of the peninsula, where the geography is defined by the proximity to the bay.
