About this map

Lake Charlevoix and the surrounding shoreline are the dominant features of this coastal Michigan landscape, where the settlement of Ironton sits along the southern narrows. To the north, the city of Charlevoix spans the channel between the inland lake and Lake Michigan, with landmarks like Mt McSauba and Park Island punctuating the lakefront. The interior reveals a complex system of smaller water bodies and drainages, including Susan Lake, Mud Lake, and the winding path of Susan Cr.

Transport patterns are defined by the arc of Us-31 and Boyne City Rd, which connect the small clusters of Burgess and Bay Shore in the northeast. For researchers, the map provides detailed naming of coastal geography, from the protrusion of Big Rock Point to the sheltered waters of Oyster Bay and Loeb Bay, illustrating the area's development as a maritime and recreational corridor in Charlevoix County.
