Big Sable Point defines this coastal landscape where the shoreline of Lake Michigan turns sharply south. This 2019 survey documents the narrow strip of land in Township 19 North, Range 18 West, showing the delicate interface between the massive lake and the mainland. At the southern edge of the point, the Big Sable River cuts through the terrain, providing a critical hydrological marker for the area's geography. The map is primarily dominated by the open waters of the lake, emphasizing the isolation of this western Michigan point and the specialized topographic relief found along the sandy coastal shelf. It serves as a modern record of the shifting sands and water levels that characterize Mason County's prominent lakefront features.
