2023 Map of Hiram Point OE S

About this map

Lake Michigan dominates this coastal survey, which captures the open water and shoreline interface along the southern reach of the Garden Peninsula. The map focuses almost entirely on the offshore environment, with only a small fragment of terrestrial land appearing in the northwest corner within Township 39 North, Range 18 West, Section 26. This layout emphasizes the importance of maritime navigation and bathymetry in a region where the land gives way to the deep waters of the Great Lakes. The lack of terrestrial infrastructure or settlements reflects the specialized purpose of this nautical-focused sheet, illustrating the transition from the rugged shoreline of the Upper Peninsula into the expanse of the lake.
