2011 Map of Gladstone

About this map

Little Bay de Noc and the western shores of Lake Michigan anchor this survey of Delta County, where the city of Gladstone occupies a prominent point of land. The landscape is defined by the convergence of industrial and recreational spaces, from the sprawling Upper Peninsula State Fairgrounds at the southern edge near Escanaba to the Gladstone Sports Park and Irish Oaks Golf Course and Driving Range further north. The Escanaba River winds toward the bay, passing through small settlements like Groos and Wells. Genealogists will find interest in several local burial grounds, including Fernwood Cemetery, Flat Rock Cemetery, and the Garden of Rest Cemetery. Along the shoreline, geographic features such as Saunders Point and Butlers Island frame the harbor, while inland developments like the WestGladstone Airport and the village of Kipling show the continued growth of this Upper Peninsula coastal corridor.
