2014 Map of North Manitou Island OE E

About this map

Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore dominates the eastern shoreline of North Manitou Island, where the island’s shifting sands and high elevations define the coastal landscape. A notable landmark along this stretch is Old Baldy Summit, overlooking the waters where the Leelanau-North Manitou Island Fry provides a vital transportation link to the mainland. The map reveals the intricate coastal geography of the island’s southeastern reaches, including the distinct formations at Dimmicks Point and Donner Point. Off the coast, the dangerous North Manitou Shoals guard the entrance to the Manitou Passage, a historically significant maritime corridor. Inland, a sparse network of paths like Manitou Island Rd and Ferry Rd suggests the managed, protected nature of this wilderness area.
