About this map

Ludington is defined by its deep relationship with the water, serving as a hub between the expanse of Lake Michigan and the sheltered waters of Pere Marquette Lake. The city's maritime infrastructure is prominent, featuring the North Breakwater Light, North Pierhead Light, and South Breakwater Light guiding vessels into the harbor. Waterfront activity is concentrated around facilities like the Ludington Municipal Marina, Harbor View Marina, and the Tamarac Sport Fishing Dock.

Outside the urban core, the landscape transitions into historical and recreational enclaves. The northern shoreline is home to the Epworth Assembly and North Epworth, while the southern reaches feature the historic interpretive site of White Pine Village. Genealogists will find significant value in the documentation of several local burial grounds, including Lakeview Cemetery, Pere Marquette Cemetery, and the more southern Phillips Cemetery. The intricate hydrology of the area, including Mosquito Creek and the Pere Marquette River, shapes the development of the surrounding Mason County countryside.
