About this map

Escanaba's urban grid and industrial waterfront dominate this Little Bay de Noc landscape, where the city’s development is bounded by the expansive waters of Lake Michigan. The shoreline is defined by prominent geographical features like Sand Point, which hosts the Escanaba Lighthouse, and the low-lying reaches of Sand Island. Inland, the map reveals the civic and social layout of the community, featuring the William Bonifas Auditorium and the Escanaba Post Office near the city center.

Transport and aviation infrastructure are central to the area's mid-century footprint, anchored by the Delta County Airport to the south. The natural drainage of the peninsula is traced by Willow Creek and Portage Creek, which flow toward Portage Bay. Genealogists will find the locations of Lakeview Cemetery and Holy Cross Cemetery particularly useful for tracing local family histories within this northern Michigan port city.
