About this map

Lake Huron dominates this shoreline survey of Alpena County, revealing a complex network of peninsulas and small islands along the Michigan coast. The land tapers into a series of distinctive landforms, including North Point and Whitefish Point, which frame the entrances to Whitefish Bay and Misery Bay. Inland from these rocky reaches, the geography is defined by a cluster of water bodies such as Elbow Lake, Mud Lake, and Grass Lake.

Development is concentrated near the north in the Northpoint Shrs area, served by local routes like North Point Rd and El Cajon Beach Rd. The map also identifies the Baarlear Landing Strip near the northern boundary, providing a glimpse into the local transportation infrastructure used to access this maritime landscape. The presence of Round Island and Crooked Island further illustrates the intricate geological character of the Lake Huron coast as it was documented in 2011.
