2011 Map of Good Harbor Bay

About this map

Sugarloaf Mountain rises as a central landmark in this Leelanau County landscape, overlooking a series of inland lakes and the expansive coastline of Good Harbor Bay. The settlement patterns of Centerville Township are clearly visible through clusters at Shaldas Corner, Bodus, Schomberg, and Isadore. This 2011 survey documents a community defined by its proximity to water, with Little Traverse Lake and Lime Lake situated just inland from the Lake Michigan shoreline. The presence of numerous burial grounds, including the Swedish Mission Cemetery and Mount Calvary Cemetery, provides a valuable map of early local family lineages and religious denominations. Aviation infrastructure is noted by the Sugar Loaf Resort Airport and Miller-Herroid Airport, reflecting the area's role as a regional destination. A network of creeks like Shetland Creek and Victoria Creek connect the lakes, shaping the drainage and development of this coastal Michigan region.
