About this map

The northern shoreline of Lake Michigan defines this area of Michigan, where the boundary between Delta and Schoolcraft counties meets the water. Along this coast, prominent landforms like Hiram Point and Point O'Keefe overlook Parent Bay and the small inlet at Little Harbor. Inland, the landscape is characterized by a network of freshwater bodies and wetlands, including the expansive Bursaw Marsh, Mabel Lake, and Lake Thirteen.

Remote roads such as Garden Grade Rd and Co Hwy 435 provide access through the forested terrain. Of particular interest to local historians is the isolated Farley Grave Site located near the shore of Little Harbor. The map reveals a drainage system where Bursaw Creek, Parent Creek, and Birch Creek move through the low-lying marshes toward the great lake, illustrating the natural hydrological patterns of this Upper Peninsula region.
