1972 Map of Hughes Point

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

Mackinac State Forest dominates the northern shoreline of Lake Michigan in this early 1970s survey, revealing a landscape defined by intricate wetlands and coastal inlets. The interior is characterized by numerous small water bodies such as Shoepac Lake, Batty Doe Lake, and the expansive Swan Marsh, which feeds into Swan Creek. This area shows the intersection of state-managed timberlands and the fluctuating coastal environment of the Upper Peninsula. Along the coast, distinct geographical features like Hughes Point and Seiners Point frame the entrance to Island Harbor, a sheltered area protected by Port Island. The map provides a look at the hydrography of the region just before modern development, including the location of various Lights and a Gaging Sta used for monitoring the Great Lakes' water levels and navigation.
