About this map

The industrial and maritime character of northern Michigan is evident in this topographic study, where Lake Michigan meets the complex shoreline of Lake Charlevoix. The northern coast is dominated by the Big Rock Powerplant at Big Rock Point, while the interior shows the rural settlement patterns of Hayes and Eveline townships. Key local landmarks like Mount McSauba and Greensky Hill stand above the surrounding glacial terrain, punctuated by smaller water bodies like Susan Lake and Adams Lake.

Transportation and community life center on the established village of Ironton and the eastern edge of Charlevoix. Researchers can trace the legacy of early 1980s infrastructure through the network of local thoroughfares such as Boyne City Road and Old Northern Rd, alongside specific community sites like the Assembly of God Ch and Shannon Field. The map also documents resource extraction at a local Gravel Pit and the coastal configuration of Oyster Bay and Loeb Bay.
