About this map

Port Inland and the surrounding coastal wetlands define this section of the Upper Peninsula shoreline along Lake Michigan. This 2019 survey documents a landscape dominated by water and shifting terrain, from the sheltered waters of Inland Harbor and Seul Choix Bay to the inland drainage systems of Swan Cr and Seiners Cr. The map captures the interface between industrial maritime access and the natural hydrology of the northern lake shore.

Further inland, the terrain is characterized by extensive wetlands such as Swan Marsh and isolated water bodies including Batty Doe Lake and Sand Lake. The boundary between Schoolcraft County and Mackinac County runs vertically through the western portion of the map, bisecting the coastal area near Port Inland. The presence of Milakokia River in the eastern section and prominent landforms like Hughes Point and Seiners Point provide essential reference points for understanding the topographical character of this Michigan coastline.
