About this map

Nahma sits at the northern edge of Big Bay de Noc, where the Sturgeon River empties into Lake Michigan. This 2011 survey illustrates the concentrated settlement at the river mouth, featuring the Nahma Post Office and local landmarks like Stony Point and Poplar Point. The map provides significant genealogical value through its marking of the Nahma Cemetery near the town site and the more remote Indian Point Cemetery situated further west along the coastline of Indian Point.

The geography is dominated by the transition from the wetlands of the Sturgeon River delta to the open waters of the bay. Inland, the landscape is defined by water bodies such as Marsh Lake and Boutlier Lake, while the eastern shore reveals coastal features including Lacomb Bay and Garden Bluff. The network of forest roads, including Forest Rd 2141, suggests a landscape managed for timber and conservation under the U.S. Forest Service.
