About this map

The western reaches of Manistique and the neighboring settlement of Thompson anchor this coastal portrait of Schoolcraft County, where the Upper Peninsula meets the northern waters of Lake Michigan. The landscape is defined by the significant expanse of Indian Lake, which is bordered by a series of shoreline communities including Michiwaukee Shores, Evergreen Shores, and Harrison Beach. These settlements, along with the nearby Hiawatha National Forest, reflect a region deeply tied to its water resources and forested interior.

Local history is preserved at the Thompson Cem near the southern shore, while the hydrological network is traced through numerous watercourses such as Thompson Creek, Snyder Creek, and the Indian River. The shoreline itself is marked by distinctive points like Stony Point and the quiet waters of Longes Bay. This 2019 survey captures the modern road network, from State Road to rural routes like Erickson Road, illustrating how these coastal hamlets remain connected to the larger port at Manistique.
