North Manitou Island occupies the southwestern corner of this coastal survey, where the land rises sharply from the shoreline of Lake Michigan. This portion of the island is protected as part of the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore, reflecting the preservation of its diverse dune and forest environments. The map shows the topography of the island's interior, including the elevation gains inland from the beach. While the majority of the sheet is dominated by the open waters of Lake Michigan, the detailed contour lines on the island provide a clear record of the coastal terrain as it existed in 2017. This area represents a critical portion of the northern Lake Michigan archipelago, documenting the physical boundaries of the national lakeshore.
