1983 Map of Gills Pier

About this map

Lake Michigan dominates the western shoreline of this Leelanau County survey, where the small settlement of Gills Pier sits at the mouth of Gills Creek. The landscape transitions from the sandy bluffs and points of the coast, including Cemetery Point and Wardens Point, to a rolling interior defined by family-named roads and scattered social hubs. Cultural sites are prominent, featuring the St Wenceslaus Ch and the Indian Mission Ch, alongside several community burial grounds like Omonomene Cem and Beechwood Cem.
