2019 Map of Escanaba

About this map

Escanaba serves as the focal point of this coastal study, situated where the waters of Little Bay de Noc meet the wider reaches of Lake Michigan. The town’s grid is anchored by the Delta County Courthouse and extends toward the waterfront at Sand Point. This 2019 survey captures the developed landscape of the Upper Peninsula, showing the proximity of the Delta County Airport to the marshy lowlands surrounding Portage Bay. Genealogists and local historians can locate established resting places like Lakeview Cem and Holy Cross Cem, while coastal researchers can trace the shoreline south to Portage Point and Fishery Point. The map provides a contemporary record of established routes such as Ludington St and Old State Rd, which connect the urban center to the surrounding wetlands and the winding course of Portage Cr.
