2014 Map of Mapleton

About this map

Grand Traverse Bay dominates this coastal survey, where the deep waters of the West Arm separate the eastern and western peninsulas of northern Michigan. Along the eastern shore, the settlement of Mapleton serves as a central point for the Old Mission Peninsula, anchored by local sites like Ogdensburg Cem and the sheltered waters of Bowers Harbor. The geography is defined by a series of prominent landforms reaching into the lake, including Merril Point, Tucker Point, and the sharp protrusion of Neah-Ta-Wanta Point. On the western side of the bay, the landscape transitions into the hills around Suttons Bay, with Stony Point and Lee Point marking the rugged coastline. The map reveals a dense network of local roads such as Center Rd and Peninsula Dr, illustrating how the region's topography has shaped the development of its orchards and residential corridors.
