1985 Map of Henderson Lakes

About this map

Green Bay and Lake Michigan dominate the eastern expanse of this mid-1980s coastal survey, where the Upper Peninsula shoreline meets the water. Along the narrow terrestrial corridor, the Ford River and Bark River flow toward the bay, carving through the dense timberlands of the Escanaba River State Forest. The geography here is defined by small water bodies like Henderson Lakes and the public lands of O B Fuller County Park. Genealogists and local historians will find the South Ford River Cem situated near the northern boundary, providing a specific point of interest for family research in this sparsely settled region of Delta County. The map captures the quiet, natural character of the Michigan shoreline before modern development altered these traditional drainage patterns.
