2017 Map of Chippewa Point

About this map

Chippewa Point marks a distinct protrusion into the northern waters of Lake Michigan, where the currents of Big Bay de Noc and Green Bay converge. This coastal landscape within the Hiawatha National Forest is defined by its low-lying hydrology, featuring interior water bodies such as Indian Town Lake and Granskog Lake. The drainage of Granskog Creek illustrates the intricate wetland patterns of this peninsula in Delta County. Farther offshore, Round Island sits isolated in the lake, indicating the maritime hazards and navigational landmarks essential to this stretch of the Upper Peninsula shoreline. The map captures the interface between protected forest lands and the expansive Great Lakes, showing a region largely defined by its natural water features and lack of dense modern development.
