1983 Map of North Manitou Island

USGS Topo · Published 1984

About this map

North Manitou Island occupies this entire study, showing the isolated landscape of Leelanau County surrounded by the waters of Lake Michigan. In the early 1980s, the island's interior was dominated by the large Lake Manitou and smaller Tamarack Lake, with most human activity concentrated on the eastern shore at North Manitou. A network of unimproved roads and trails connects the settlement to landmarks like the Dock and a Cem, indicating a history of habitation and maritime reliance. The southern end is defined by prominent topographical features such as Old Baldy Hill, while the coast is marked by sharp geographic turnings at Donner Point and Dimmicks Point. Most of the land falls within the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore, reflecting the island's transition into a protected wilderness area accessible via the Manitou Passage.
