2017 Map of Garden Island West

About this map

Garden Island and the northern tip of Beaver Island anchor this archipelago survey in the waters of Lake Michigan. The map details a landscape defined by isolated landmasses and sheltered inlets, including Ninnegoes Bay and Bomways Bay on the western shores of Garden Island. A network of local roads such as Indian Point Rd and Garden Isle View Rd provides access to the interior terrain, while the coastal geography is marked by distinctive features like Northwest Point and Grahams Point. Genealogists will find the location of the Saint James Township Cem and the Indian Cems particularly significant, offering a glimpse into the burial traditions and settlement history of this remote island township. The presence of Saint James at the southern edge of the sheet shows the primary hub connecting these islands to the mainland.
