About this map

Lake Superior dominates this portion of the Michigan shoreline, where the cold waters meet a series of rocky landmarks and coastal forests. The map highlights significant coastal features such as Granite Island and Little Presque Isle, which sit just offshore from Granite Point. This area represents a well-preserved stretch of the Upper Peninsula, primarily utilized for recreation and conservation rather than dense industrial development.

Modern infrastructure is limited to essential routes like Big Bay Rd and Harlow Lake Rd, which provide access to the interior. Recreational history is prominent here, as the N Country National Scenic Trail winds through the landscape near Harlow Lake, connecting the shoreline to the inland drainage of Harlow Cr. The map preserves the exact township and range divisions, such as t49n r25w, which remain the primary framework for land management in this coastal wilderness.
