2023 Map of Charity Island

About this map

Charity Island and its smaller neighbors sit isolated within the waters of Saginaw Bay in this modern survey of the region. This remote island group is largely defined by the Michigan Islands National Wildlife Refuge, which encompasses the terrestrial features to protect local avian habitats. The map clearly delineates the administrative and geographical split in the open water between Arenac and Huron Counties, marking the boundaries that intersect the bay. To the south, Little Charity Island and the small Gull Island complete the archipelago. The surrounding expanse of Lake Huron dominates the sheet, illustrating the maritime environment that separates these protected lands from the Michigan mainland.
