North Manitou Island and its surrounding waters in the Beaver Archipelago represent a preserved landscape within the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore. The map documents a rugged island geography where inland water bodies like Lake Manitou and Tamarack Lake sit perched above the shoreline of Lake Michigan. Human history is marked by the presence of the South Manitou Island Cem and the poignant landmark of Sailors Graves, which speak to the maritime risks inherent to the North Manitou Shoals. Transportation is limited to a network of footpaths, including the North Manitou Island Main Trails Trl, and the Passenger Ferry (Seasonal) Trl that connects these isolated points of the Sleeping Bear Dunes Wilderness to the mainland.
