2014 Map of Hiram Point

About this map

Lake Michigan dominates the southern reaches of this survey, where the rugged Upper Peninsula coastline is defined by prominent landmarks like Hiram Point, Point O'Keefe, and Cole Point. The interior landscape is a complex network of wetlands and small water bodies, including Bursaw Marsh and numerous glacial lakes such as Lake Thirteen and Halfway Lake. The boundary between Delta and Schoolcraft Counties runs vertically through the center, marking a transition in the local infrastructure. Along the shoreline, human activity is concentrated near Little Harbor and the Farley Grave Site, while the hinterlands are accessed by a grid of logging and local routes like Garden Grade Rd and Goldmine Rd. This shoreline geography, with its various inlets like Parent Bay, reflects a landscape historically shaped by both the timber industry and the lake's maritime influence.
