2017 Map of East Tawas OE S

About this map

Lake Huron dominates this maritime survey, illustrating the vast open waters east of the Michigan shoreline. The map focuses on the navigational approach to the coast, specifically highlighting the distinctive hook of Tawas Point, which separates the open lake from the sheltered waters of Tawas Bay. These features define the coastal geography of Baldwin Township, where the deep waters of the Great Lakes meet the bay. This 2017 study also delineates the aquatic boundary between Iosco Co and Arenac Co, providing a clear record of the jurisdictional lines that extend into the lake. It is a specialized record of the shoreline's protrusion into one of North America's most significant freshwater bodies.
