1983 Map of Northport NW

About this map

Lake Michigan dominates this coastal survey, where the northwest edge of the Leelanau Peninsula meets the open water. The shoreline is defined by stretches of sand and the prominent landing at Peterson Park, which serves as a recreational anchor for the area. Moving inland from the coast, the terrain rises toward Braman Hill, overlooking a network of rural roads that supported the local community in the late 1970s and early 1980s. The settlement of Garthe and the nearby Christmas Cove illustrate the historical land use patterns of this coastal region, where small-scale development is concentrated along thoroughfares such as Peterson Park Road and Garthe Road. This map provides a clear record of the peninsula's character before modern expansion, capturing the boundaries of the Northport Corp Bdy as they stood during this era.
