About this map

Lake Michigan dominates the southern landscape of this 2019 survey, where the Upper Peninsula coastline is defined by distinctive landforms and shallow offshore features. Along the shoreline, Gravel Island and the hook of Hog Island Point create a sheltered stretch of water, while Little Hog Island sits just off the coast. Farther south in the open water, the submerged Pelkie Reef stands as a significant navigational landmark for the region.

Inland, the terrain is shaped by an intricate network of drainage, including the Black River and the E Br Black River. The area is interlaced with local roads and historical routes like the Old Stage Trl and Flowing Well Rd, which provide access to the dense woodlands and wetlands that characterize Mackinac County. The map captures the interface of these northern forests with the northern edge of the Lake Michigan basin, showing how the local hydrology from Sucker Cr and Hog Island Cr feeds into the great lake.
