About this map

Lake Michigan dominates this coastal survey, where the deep waters of the Great Lakes meet the western edge of Benzie County. The shoreline is punctuated by Point Betsie, a prominent terrain feature that has long served as a critical navigational landmark for maritime traffic. South of the point, the narrow coastal strip includes the settlements of Pilgrim and the northern reaches of Frankfort, showing the residential development and road networks that hug the lakefront.

Local transportation is defined by a handful of established routes, including Sylvan Rd, Brewster Blvd, and Golf Ln, which provide access to the homes and seasonal retreats tucked behind the dunes. The map clearly delineates the township and range lines, such as t27n r16w and t26n r16w, which anchor the legal and historical property boundaries in this part of Northwest Michigan. This edition provides a high-resolution view of the interface between the lake and the land in the early 21st century.
