About this map

Garden Peninsula stretches between the waters of Lake Michigan and Big Bay de Noc, defining the geography of this portion of Delta County. The settlement of Fayette occupies a sheltered harbor on the western shore, anchored by the Fayette Post Office and overlooking the high limestone face of Middle Bluff. This area, once a center for iron smelting, is preserved through the State Park designation, which encompasses the shoreline near Snail Shell Harbor and several historic burial grounds.

Further south, the landscape transitions to the small community at Sac Bay, situated near its namesake water body. Genealogy and local history are well-represented by a cluster of sites including Hinks Cemetery, Saint Peters Cemetery, and Saint Josephs Catholic Church Cemetery. The topography is marked by distinctive elevations like Burnt Bluff and inland water features such as Mud Lake, Little Lake, and Little Sucker Lake, all connected by a grid of rural routes like KK Rd and McDonald Rd.
