About this map

Lake Michigan dominates the southern reaches of this shoreline survey, where the rocky outcroppings of Hiram Point and Point O'Kee define the northern rim of the Big Bay de Noc. The interior landscape is a complex network of wetlands and small inland lakes, including Halfway Lake, Lake Thirteen, and the expansive Bursaw Marsh. These waters drain through numerous creeks like Bursaw Cr and Poodle Pete Cr toward the bay.

Human presence is marked primarily by rural transit corridors such as Garden Grade Rd and Co Hwy 435. For genealogists and local historians, the Farley Grave Site near Williams Rd provides a specific point of interest in an area otherwise characterized by timberland and isolated settlements like Little Harbor. The boundary between Delta Co and Schoolcraft Co bisects the terrain, illustrating the jurisdictional lines in this part of the Upper Peninsula.
