1985 Map of Fayette

About this map

The Garden Peninsula shoreline along Big Bay De Noc is defined by dramatic coastal formations like Middle Bluff and Burnt Bluff. This mid-1980s survey documents the cultural and natural landscape of the Fayette State Park area, specifically highlighting the Fayette (Site) near Snail Shell Harbor. The map records significant local genealogy markers, including Hinks Cem and St Peters Cem, alongside community landmarks such as the Townhall and St Peter the Fisherman Ch. The transition from the developed park areas to the wilder reaches of the Lake Superior State Forest illustrates the dual nature of this Lake Michigan frontage. Settlement patterns are concentrated around the sheltered waters of Sac Bay and the historic industrial site at Fayette, while the interior remains a mosaic of wetlands like Mud Lake and Little Sucker Lake.
