2017 Map of Hog Island Point

About this map

Lake Michigan dominates the southern half of this coastal landscape, where the shoreline is defined by notable features like Gravel Island and Little Hog Island. The northern interior transitions into a complex drainage system characterized by the Black River and its various tributaries, including the E Br Black River and Borgstrom Cr. The area’s human geography is traced through a network of local roads and paths, such as Old Stage Trl and Sand Lake Trl, which navigate the low-lying terrain near Sucker Cr and Davenport Cr. This 2017 survey reflects a largely natural and sparsely populated stretch of the Upper Peninsula, where the intersection of water and land is marked by hazards like Pelkie Reef and the prominent protrusion of Hog Island Point.
