2019 Map of Hessel

About this map

Hessel anchors the northern shore of Lake Huron on this 2019 survey, where the rugged Upper Peninsula landscape meets the Les Cheneaux region. The map documents several small, specialized burial grounds including Italian Hill Cem, Fenlons Cem, and Father Marquette's Cem, which offer significant value for genealogical research in Mackinac County. The coastal geography is defined by prominent points like Osogwin Point and Mortsen Point, framing the waters of Hessel Bay and Mackinac Bay. Inland, the terrain rises toward Italian Hill and Peek-A- Boo Hill, largely encompassed by the eastern stretches of the Hiawatha National Forest. A network of rural roads such as Rockview Rd and Nye Rd connects these wooded uplands to the waterfront, while the Albert J Lindberg Airport serves as a modern aviation landmark amidst the traditional forest and lake landscape.
