About this map

Garden serves as the focal point of this coastal survey, situated where the waters of Garden Bay meet the land at the head of the Garden Peninsula. The village layout is clearly defined by local thoroughfares such as State St and Garden Ave, which connect the settlement to the surrounding landscape. The area is notable for its numerous burial grounds, including the New Garden Cem to the north and small family plots like the Cousineau-Potvin Family Cem and Bailey Family Cem. These sites, along with the Kates Bay Cem, provide significant touchstones for local genealogical research.

The shoreline along Big Bay de Noc is marked by a series of distinct maritime features, from the sheltered waters of Vans Harbor and Goully Harbor to the prominent heights of Jacks Bluff. Inland, the terrain is characterized by watercourses like Garden Cr and Valentine Cr, which flow through the township toward Lake Michigan. The presence of Buck Fever Lake and Halfmoon Lake further inland highlights the diverse hydrology of Delta County as it appeared in the early 21st century.
