About this map

The northern shores of Lake Michigan define this 1931 survey of the Upper Peninsula, focused on the small fishing village of Epoufette. This advance sheet, compiled from aerial photographs by the Air Corps, shows the area as U S Highway No 2 followed the coastline, providing the primary connection through Hendricks township. The landscape is characterized by its transition from the Great Lake to interior wetlands and smaller bodies of water like Sand Lake and Reggley Lake.

Genealogical interest is found at the Cem located just north of the village, while the hydrology of the region is mapped through systems like Paquin Creek and Davenport Creek. The prominent geography of Point Epoufette juts into the lake, marking a site that was historically significant as a harbor and stopping point along the northern shore. This survey preserves the road network and settlement patterns before mid-century infrastructure developments changed the character of the Mackinac coastline.
