About this map

Petoskey and Harbor Springs anchor the opposite shores of Little Traverse Bay, showcasing the late-twentieth-century development of this storied northern Michigan coastal corridor. The map documents a dense network of lakeside communities and seasonal enclaves, including the historic associations at Bay View, Wequetonsing, and Roaring Brook. These settlements are linked by coastal roads and the transition from the waterfront to the higher elevations of Emmet Heights and Highland Park.

Natural geography is dominated by the massive presence of Lake Michigan and the distinctive hook of Harbor Point. Inland, a chain of smaller water bodies such as Round Lake, Spring Lake, and Mud Lake defines the eastern landscape. The survey also traces the path of the N Country National Scenic Trail as it winds through the interior, while infrastructure like the Harbor Springs Airport and Lakeview Cem mark the outskirts of the established towns.
