2014 Map of Garden Island West

About this map

Lake Michigan surrounds the northern reaches of the Beaver Archipelago in this 2014 survey. The map focuses on the western portion of Garden Island, highlighting the complex shoreline of Bomways Bay and Ninnegoes Bay. These waters historically supported local fishing and transport networks between the islands. To the south, the northern tip of Beaver Island contains the settlement of Saint James, where the Saint James Township Cem is situated near Lookout Point. Scattered outposts like Squaw Island and Whisky Island mark the isolated character of these Lake Michigan landmasses. The map also traces local infrastructure such as Milliken Rd and Indian Point Rd, providing a clear record of the modern roads that connect the historic landings and points across the archipelago.
