2011 Map of Engadine

About this map

Engadine serves as the focal point of this Upper Peninsula landscape, situated along the northern edge where local life centers on the Engadine Post Office and the nearby Engadine Cemetery. The geography is defined by its transition from the settled town site to the expansive waters of Lake Michigan, where hazards like Cranberry Shoal and Potter Reef lie just offshore. To the west, the Rock River and Crow River drain the marshy interiors of Newton Township, winding past small water bodies like Mud Lake and Knob Lake. Transport and recreation are interwoven through the presence of the Swift Siding railroad point and the Big Knob Campground, which provides access to the shoreline near Fox Point. This map illustrates a balance between a small Michigan community and the vast, unpopulated coastal reaches of the Great Lakes.
