2017 Map of Hamlin Lake OE W

About this map

Big Sable Point defines the narrow strip of Michigan coastline documented in this 2017 survey, where the dunes meet the vast expanse of Lake Michigan. This portion of Mason County showcases the mouth of the Big Sable River as it empties into the lake, a critical geographic marker for maritime and local navigation. The map highlights the sharp transition between the deep waters of the lake and the elevation changes of the coastal terrain, including the township and range lines of t19n r18w that organize the surrounding public lands. The focus here is primarily on the shoreline's physical profile, illustrating the relationship between the river drainage and the prominent point that has long served as a landmark for travelers along the western edge of the Lower Peninsula.
