About this map

The northern shores of Lake Michigan define this coastal landscape, where the fishing and logging village of Naubinway serves as a primary hub for the region. The interior is largely dominated by the Mackinac State Forest, a terrain marked by numerous watercourses including the Lower Millecoquins River, East Mile Creek, and Mattis Creek. Inland, the map reveals industrial and recreational infrastructure such as a Compressor Station, multiple sandpits, and a Golf Course near the town center.

Navigational hazards and coastal features are documented with precision, highlighting the expansive Millecoquins Reefs and the Naubinway Reef lying just offshore from Naubinway Island. Significant local sites for genealogical and historical research include the Naubinway Cem and the Picnic Area at Millecoquins Point. The presence of several pipelines cutting across the forest floor reflects the evolving utility infrastructure of the Upper Peninsula during the 1970s.
