The Garden Peninsula shoreline on Big Bay de Noc anchors this 2019 survey, highlighting the complex relationship between the limestone cliffs and the waters of Lake Michigan. Centered on the town of Fayette, the map details a landscape where industry and history meet at the State Park. The limestone escarpments of Middle Bluff and Burnt Bluff provide a dramatic backdrop to Snail Shell Harbor, while numerous cemeteries, including Saint Josephs Catholic Church Cem and the Sac Bay Cem, offer essential reference points for genealogists. The interior of the peninsula is characterized by a grid of local roads and natural features like Mud Lake and Little Sucker Lake, while the western waters are marked by the Big Bay De Noc Shoal and the distinctive profile of Snake Island.
