2011 Map of Estral Beach

About this map

Estral Beach sits at the edge of the Michigan shoreline, marking a small residential enclave where the land meets the expansive waters of Lake Erie. This 2011 survey illustrates the maritime boundary between the United States and Canada, showing the critical shipping lanes that facilitate Great Lakes commerce. The topography is dominated by the aquatic environment, featuring the mouth of Swan Creek and the prominent headland at Pointe aux Peaux. Navigation remains a central theme of this coastal area, with the West Outer Channel and East Outer Channel charted as they guide vessels through the shallow western basin. The map captures a quiet stretch of the Monroe County coast defined by its transition from small-scale creek drainage to the deep-water channels of the international border.
