2023 Map of Cross Village

About this map

Cross Village sits along the high bluffs of Emmet County, overlooking the expansive waters of Lake Michigan and the northern reaches of Sturgeon Bay. This coastal landscape is defined by its significant historical burial grounds, including the Cross Village Cem, Holy Cross Cem, and the Indian Cem, reflecting the deep cultural layers of this lakeside settlement. The terrain rises from the shore toward McCort Hill, while the local road network, including Wadsworth Rd and N Lake Shore Dr, traces the natural contours of the shoreline and the surrounding forest lands. To the northeast, the waters of Wycamp Creek flow toward the bay, marking a transition from the village center into more secluded coastal environments. The mapping of these townships, t38n r6w and t37n r6w, captures the persistent layout of one of Michigan's oldest continuously inhabited sites in the modern era.
