2019 Map of Mapleton

About this map

Old Mission Peninsula divides the waters of Lake Michigan into the primary arms of Grand Traverse Bay, anchoring a landscape defined by its distinctive shoreline and agricultural layout. The settlement of Mapleton serves as a central hub on the peninsula, surrounded by coastal features such as Bowers Harbor and several prominent landforms including Tucker Point and Neah-Ta-Wanta Point. To the west across the West Arm Grand Traverse Bay, the coastline of Leelanau County is visible near Suttons Bay, where Stony Point and Lee Point extend into the water. For local historians and genealogists, the map identifies key community sites such as Ogdensburg Cem and Bowers Harbor Cem, alongside a dense network of local roads like Center Rd and Peninsula Dr that reflect the area's development and enduring connection to its maritime environment.
