1956 Map of North Manitou

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

North Manitou Island and South Manitou Island sit isolated within Lake Michigan in this mid-century survey, revealing a landscape defined by maritime necessity and transition. The settlement at North Manitou is flanked by the interior waters of Lake Manitou and Tamarack Lake, while a Landing Field and a Lifeboat Station mark the island's role in navigation. On the southern island, much of the terrain is protected as part of the Glen Arbor State Forest, where the S Manitou Island Light stands near Sandy Point. Evidence of a changing local community is visible in the presence of the N Manitou I Sch (Abandoned) and S Manitou I Sch (Abandoned), alongside the S Manitou I Cem, providing essential markers for genealogical research in Leelanau County's island history.
