About this map

Port Inland serves as the primary industrial anchor on this stretch of the northern Lake Michigan shoreline, situated at the mouth of the Milakokia River. The landscape is defined by the transition from the dense woodlands of the Mackinac State Forest to the marshy coastal environment of Swan Marsh. Coastal navigation and maritime activity are central to the area's identity, evidenced by the Inland Harbor facilities, Lights, and a Gaging Sta.

Moving inland, the topography is dotted with small water bodies like Shoepac Lake and Batty Doe Lake, connected by a network of drainage ways including Seiners Creek and Peterson Cr. The map captures the boundary between Schoolcraft and Mackinac counties, illustrating how local infrastructure like Batty Doe Road navigates the varied terrain between the forest and the prominent landmarks of Hughes Point and Seiners Point.
