About this map

The tip of the Leelanau Peninsula comes into sharp focus during this era, dominated by the long-standing maritime influence of Lake Michigan. At the northernmost point, the Grand Traverse Light stands at Lighthouse Point, marking the entrance to the bay. The village of Northport serves as the primary hub of activity, supported by the G Marsten Dame Marina and local maritime infrastructure like the Northport Bay Boat Yard.

Inland, the landscape is defined by its aviation and community landmarks, such as the Woolsey Memorial Airport and the sprawling Leelanau Township Number One and Two Cemetery. Roads like County Hwy-640 and N Northport Point Rd weave through the peninsula, connecting the residential areas near Northport Point to the rugged western shore at Cat Head Point. Smaller water bodies like Mud Lake and Leg Lake sit nestled within the interior, providing a contrast to the expansive waters of Northport Bay.
