1983 Map of Little Point Sable

About this map

Little Point Sable Lighthouse stands as the primary landmark on this stretch of the Lake Michigan shoreline, marking the prominent coastal projection within Golden township. The landscape is defined by the massive dunes of Silver Lake State Park, which separate the open waters of Lake Michigan from the inland Silver Lake. This 1983 provisional survey shows a coastal environment shaped by moving sands and water, with Richmonds Inlet to the north and the small settlement of Little Point Sable clustered near the lighthouse. Further inland, the map transitions into the rural grid of Benona township, where local routes like 18th Avenue and Warren Road provide access to the farms and woodlots situated behind the coastal dune system.
