About this map

The western shoreline of Lake Erie defines this part of Monroe County, Michigan, where the land meets North Maumee Bay and La Plaisance Bay. This coastal landscape is shaped by a series of peninsulas and marshes, most notably the Woodtick Peninsula and various inland drainage systems like Yetter Drain and Cousino Drain. Along the lakefront, established communities such as Luna Pier and Bolles Harbor sit alongside numerous beach developments, including Avalon Beach and North Shores.

Further inland, the map captures the transition from lakeside residential areas to agricultural and memorial spaces. Significant sites for local history and genealogy include the Saint Joseph-Bay Settlement Cem, Roselawn Memorial Cem, and Leonard Cem. The presence of Great Sulphur Spring and several creeks, such as Muddy Creek and Otter Creek, underscores the hydrologic complexity of this low-lying region near the Michigan-Ohio state line.
