1986 Map of Hog Island West

About this map

Garden Island and Hog Island anchor this mid-1980s look at the northern reaches of Lake Michigan. Much of the land is preserved within the Mackinaw State Forest Garden Island and Mackinaw State Forest Hog Island, highlighting a landscape largely dedicated to conservation and natural management. The intricate shorelines of these islands are defined by small, protected coves like Larsen Harbor, Jensen Harbor, and Garden Island Harbor, which offer insight into the natural anchorages available in these waters. Small satellite features like Pismire Island and Grape Island further illustrate the fragmented archipelago. The presence of the Michigan Islands National Wildlife Refuge underscores the ecological importance of this area as a sanctuary for migratory birds and local wildlife within Lake Michigan.
