About this map

Lake Erie defines the eastern edge of this Michigan-Ohio border region, where a series of residential developments and recreational harbors line the shore. Settlements like Luna Pier, Bolles Harbor, and Avalon Beach illustrate the intensive waterfront use of the early 21st century, punctuated by infrastructure like the Luna Pier Post Office. Inland, the landscape transitions to a mix of agriculture and established communities, including La Salle and Hillcrest Orchard, which are connected by a grid of local roads and the primary corridor of Interstate 75.

Genealogists will find significant local history in the cluster of burial grounds across the quadrangle, notably Saint Joseph-Bay Settlement Cemetery near Vienna and the Roselawn Memorial Cemetery to the north. The shoreline is naturally shaped by the Woodtick Peninsula and small outcroppings like Turtle Island, while a network of drainage ways including Muddy Creek and Sulphur Creek move through the low-lying terrain toward the lake.
