2023 Map of Northport NW

About this map

Lake Michigan dominates the western half of this Leelanau County landscape, where the coastline curves into the sheltered waters of Christmas Cove. The interior terrain is defined by the elevation of Bramen Hill and a network of rural routes such as Gardner Rd and Island View Dr that service the area's coastal properties. A significant site for local history and genealogy is the Old Indian Cem, situated near Peterson Park Rd. The village of Northport appears at the southern edge of the quadrangle, serving as the primary hub for this tip of the peninsula. The map reveals a land use pattern typical of northern Michigan, balancing residential developments along the shore with agricultural and wooded tracts in the interior townships of t32n r11w and t31n r11w.
