About this map

Mapleton and Ogdensburg anchor the southern reaches of the Old Mission Peninsula in this early 1980s topographical record. The landscape is defined by the deep waters of the West Arm Grand Traverse Bay, with prominent landforms like Neah-Ta-Wanta Point and Tucker Point creating the sheltered enclave of Bowers Harbor. This survey illustrates a coastal community deeply rooted in its geography, where the network of local roads such as Kroupa Road and Devils Dive Rd connects small settlements to essential landmarks like the Townhall and the St Josephs Ch.

Genealogical interest is found at the Bowers Harbor Cem and through several family-named roads and parks, including Hendryx Park and Norris Road. Across the bay to the west, the map details the rugged shoreline of Bingham and Suttons Bay, marked by Lee Point and Stony Point, where Township Park provides public access to the water. The intricate topography reveals the high ridges and coastal flats that have historically shaped the region's orchard and residential development.
