About this map

The northern Michigan coastline and the harbor at Charlevoix are the central focus of this 2011 survey, showing a landscape defined by its maritime infrastructure and industrial legacy. The Charlevoix Lighthouse and both the North Pier Light and South Pier Light guard the entrance to the channel, which serves the Beaver Island Boat Company and the Charlevoix Municipal Dock. This survey documents the intersection of leisure and industry, where the residential enclave of Boulder Park sits just north of the significant industrial footprint of the Medusa Cement Company at Port Medusa.

Further inland, the landscape shifts toward agricultural and rural residential uses, centered around the settlement of Barnard and the waters of McGeach Creek. Local history and genealogy are well-represented by several established grounds, including Brookside Cemetery, Saint Marys Cemetery, and the Barnard Cemetery. The map also captures several creeks such as Stover Creek and Inwood Creek as they drain toward Lake Michigan, along with the recreational expanse of Fisherman Island.
