1973 Map of Hog Island Point

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

Mackinac State Forest dominates this coastal landscape along the northern shores of Lake Michigan. The terrain is characterized by a network of drainage systems, including the Black River and Sucker Creek, which cut through the timbered interior toward the irregular coastline. Human imprint on the land is reflected in the established transportation corridors like Old Stage Road and Sand Lake Trail, which trace historical routes through the woods. Along the water, Hog Island Point serves as a prominent landmark near Hog Island Campground, while offshore features such as Gravel Island and the submerged Pelkie Reef underscore the navigational complexities of this stretch of the Great Lakes. The presence of a Flowing Well and a Gaging Station on Peters Creek highlights the significance of local hydrology and water management in the early 1970s.
