2017 Map of Glen Arbor

About this map

Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore dominates this coastal landscape, protecting a transition between the Lake Michigan shoreline and the inland waters of Glen Lake. The settlement of Glen Arbor sits near the mouth of the Crystal River, while further north, the historic community of Port Oneida preserves a distinct agricultural character. This 2017 survey reveals a network of family-named landmarks and cemeteries that speak to the area's pioneer heritage, including the Kelderhouse Port Oneida Cem and the Werner-Erickson Cem. The topography is defined by significant elevations like Pyramid Point and Prospect Hill, which overlook a series of smaller inland bodies of water such as Shell Lake, School Lake, and Fisher Lake. The presence of the Leelanau Schools near the shore reflects the area's established institutional history amidst its protected natural environment.
