2019 Map of Chippewa Point

About this map

Hiawatha National Forest dominates the terrestrial landscape of this Upper Peninsula coastal reach, where the wilderness meets the northern waters of Lake Michigan. The shoreline is defined by the prominent Chippewa Point, a landform that separates the expansive Big Bay de Noc from the larger bay system. Inland, the hydrology is characterized by Granskog Creek and the marshy margins of Indian Town Lake, providing a clear look at the undeveloped coastal wetlands of Delta County. The map also includes the isolated Round Island to the east, positioned within the waters of Big Bay de Noc. This survey highlights a region defined more by its natural features and maritime boundaries than by human infrastructure, reflecting the preserved character of Michigan's protected forest lands.
