2011 Map of McRae Bay

About this map

Bois Blanc Island is defined by its isolation in the waters of Lake Huron, where the northeastern shoreline is detailed in this 2011 survey. The landscape is dotted with several inland water bodies, including Deer Lake, Lost Lake, and Lake Mary, suggesting a terrain of low-lying basins and varied hydrology. Maritime history is anchored by Lighthouse Point and the Bois Blanc Light, which mark the entry to McRae Bay. Inland, the map reveals a network of local roads such as Lighthouse Ln and Central Dr that connect the coastal points to the interior. The presence of McRae Cemetery provides a tangible link to the island's historical settlement, offering genealogists a specific coordinate for early island families amidst the surrounding Swedes Bay coastline.
