2011 Map of Charity Island

About this map

Charity Island and its smaller neighbor Little Charity Island sit isolated in the waters where Saginaw Bay meets Lake Huron. This maritime landscape is defined by its navigation landmarks, most notably the Charity Island Light, which has historically guided vessels around these limestone outcrops. The survey also identifies Gull Island, a tiny landmass positioned between the two larger islands. This map focuses entirely on this offshore archipelago, capturing the exact shoreline and positioning of these islands during the early twenty-first century. It serves as a clear record of the geological and navigational features of this remote part of Whitney Township, away from the Michigan mainland.
