USGS Topo · Published 1958About this map
Sleeping Bear Dunes dominate the shoreline of this Lake Michigan coastal survey, revealing a landscape of massive shifting sands and deep glacial lakes. The village of Empire sits at the gateway to these dunes, with Glen Arbor further north between the Sleeping Bear Bay and the expansive Glen Lake. Inland, the map reveals the Cold War footprint of the Empire Air Force Station near Taylor Lake, a significant military installation of the era.
