2016 Map of Hovland

About this map

Hovland anchors this 2016 survey along the North Shore of Lake Superior, where the woodland interior meets the vast expanse of the water. The settlement is defined by its relationship to the lake, situated at the mouth of the Flute Reed River near the sheltering curve of Chicago Bay. This map provides significant genealogical value for the area, specifically identifying the Old Settlers Cem north of the main coastal route. The landscape is characterized by a series of prominent coastal features, including Big Bay, Horseshoe Bay, and the jutting landform of Big Bay Pt. Further inland, the terrain is navigated by local arteries such as Chicago Bay Rd and Moose Valley Rd, while Carlson Cr drains the higher elevations to the east. The map captures a contemporary view of this Cook County shoreline, balancing modern local roads with longstanding geographic landmarks.
