2011 Map of Hog Island Point

About this map

Lake Michigan defines the southern edge of this Upper Peninsula landscape, where numerous tributaries such as Hog Island Creek and Davenport Creek flow through the timberlands toward the coast. The topography reveals a history of land use focused on recreation and conservation, evidenced by the Black River State Forest Campground and the private Harts RV Park near the shoreline. A network of secondary routes and trails, including the Old Stage Trl and Flowing Well Rd, crisscrosses the terrain, indicating older paths of travel through the forest. Along the water's edge, geographical markers like Hog Island Point and Gravel Island stand out as prominent landmarks for navigation and local history. The presence of Garlyn Zoological Park suggests the area's later development as a destination for travelers moving along the northern Great Lakes corridor.
