1967 Map of Estral Beach

About this map

Estral Beach occupies a thin strip of the Lake Erie shoreline in Monroe County, representing a focused look at Michigan’s coastal marshlands and maritime boundaries. The landscape is dominated by the Pointe Mouillee State Game Area, a significant wetland complex where the terrestrial environment yields to the open waters of Lake Erie. This 1967 revision captures the area’s hydrographic detail, including the West Outer Channel and East Outer Channel which facilitate passage through the shallow western basin. Inland, the community is defined by its proximity to Swan Creek and the border between Berlin and Frenchtown townships. This document is particularly notable for its depiction of the complex international and state lines, including the Michigan-Ohio indefinite boundary and the United States-Canada maritime border.
