2011 Map of Frankfort OE W

About this map

Lake Michigan dominates this coastal survey, which focuses on the aquatic approaches to Benzie County. The maritime landscape is defined by its navigation aids, specifically the historic Point Betsie Light situated at Point Betsie and the North Breakwater Lighthouse marking the southern entrance to the harbor. This map provides a look at the Lake Michigan shoreline just as modern digital mapping standards were being established by the U.S. Geological Survey. On the narrow strip of land along the eastern edge, the small settlement of Crystallia appears, tucked between the lake and the local road network. Local infrastructure like Sylvan Rd and Brewster Blvd provides the primary access to the beachfront properties and seasonal residences that characterize this stretch of the Michigan coast.
