2011 Map of Hog Island West

About this map

Garden Island and its surrounding archipelago dominate this maritime survey of the northern reaches of Lake Michigan. The map details a complex shoreline defined by sheltered coves and inlets, including Jensen Harbor, Larsen Harbor, and the wide opening of Sturgeon Bay. To the south and east, smaller landmasses like Pismire Island and Grape Island sit within the vast waters, marking hazards and landmarks for those navigating the Mackinac Channel. The chart captures the intricate relationship between land and water in this island chain, showing deep-water approaches at Garden Island Harbor and the remote eastern reaches of Fisherman Bay. The absence of developed roads or settlements highlights the isolation of these islands, preserving a snapshot of the archipelago's natural geography and maritime significance.
