1985 Map of Nahma

About this map

Nahma sits at the northern edge of Big Bay De Noc, where the Sturgeon River flows into the waters of Lake Michigan. This mid-1980s survey captures the coastal character of Delta County, dominated by the Hiawatha National Forest and its winding watercourses like Bull Creek and Marsh Lake. The map reveals a landscape shaped by both nature and industry, noting a Gravel Pit near the shoreline and the prominent heights of Garden Bluff to the southeast. Genealogists and local historians can locate the Indian Point Cem situated near the tip of Indian Point, providing a specific geographic anchor for early settlement history in the region. The coastal boundary is further defined by Poplar Point and Stony Point, marking the transition from protected bays to the open lake.
