2019 Map of Northport NW

About this map

Lake Michigan dominates this coastal landscape on the tip of the Leelanau Peninsula, where the village of Northport sits at the edge of the water. The terrain rises to the west, defined by the prominent height of Bramen Hill and a network of rural roads that trace the township's development. Local history and family genealogy are reflected in the naming of thoroughfares such as N Old Farm Rd, E Garthe Rd, and N Foxview Dr. Along the shoreline, Christmas Cove provides a sheltered coastal point, while the road network including E Peterson Park Rd and N Island View Dr suggests a landscape transitioning from traditional agriculture toward residential and recreational use of the lakeside bluffs.
