2011 Map of Hessel

About this map

Hessel serves as the focal point for this survey of the Mackinac County coast, where the sheltered waters of Lake Huron meet a landscape defined by seasonal recreation and local heritage. The settlement maintains its historical identity through landmarks like the Hessel Post Office and the nearby Les Cheneaux Golf Course, while the northern interior remains largely wooded and sparsely populated. This area is noted for its several small cemeteries, including Rockview Cemetery, Italian Hill Cemetery, and the historically significant Father Marquette's Cemetery, which speak to the long-standing community roots in the region.
