2023 Map of Hog Island Point

About this map

Lake Michigan dominates the southern landscape of this coastal survey, where the shoreline is defined by the prominent Hog Island Point. The interior terrain is characterized by a network of waterways including the East Branch Black River, Sucker Creek, and Davenport Creek, which drain through the timberlands toward the lake. Navigation and access are marked by a series of specialized routes such as Old Stage Trl, Sand Lake Trl, and the aptly named Flowing Well Rd, suggesting the historical importance of artesian water sources in this part of Mackinac County. Offshore, the geography is punctuated by hazards and landforms like Pelkie Reef, Gravel Island, and Little Hog Island, which have long influenced local maritime travel along this stretch of the Upper Peninsula coast.
