About this map

The coastal village of Epoufette occupies a prominent position on the northern shore of Lake Michigan, where the terrain transitions from the forested interior of Mackinac County to the protected waters of Epoufette Bay. This 2014 survey captures a landscape defined by its relation to the water, featuring the prominent Point Epoufette and the offshore Epoufette Island. The geography suggests a history rooted in maritime navigation and early transportation, evidenced by the presence of Old Stage Trl winding through the western portion of the quadrangle.

Inland, the terrain is characterized by a network of small water bodies and streams, such as Marsh Lake, McNamara Pond, and Davenport Cr. Human activity is concentrated along the lakefront and the Us-2 corridor, while the north remains largely defined by timber and recreation trails like Strickler Trl and Hiawatha Trail Rd. The map also identifies local landmarks like the Epoufette Gem and the hazardous Pelkie Reef situated offshore in the open lake.
