1985 Map of Ogontz

About this map

Big Bay De Noc dominates this mid-1980s coastal survey of Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, revealing a landscape defined by the expansive Hiawatha National Forest and the winding course of the Ogontz River. The settlement of Ogontz sits near the northern shoreline, where the river meets Ogontz Bay. This environment is characterized by its numerous water bodies, including Little Lake Sixteen, Boufford Lake, and Indian Town Lake, which reflect the region's complex glacial geography. Local industry and land use are visible through the noted Limestone Quarry and Gravel Pit, providing a glimpse into the natural resource extraction that supported the area's development. Small coastal features like St Vital Pt Point and the nearby St Vital Island mark the transition into the open waters of Lake Michigan, while the Ogontz Bay Public Access indicates the recreational value of this shoreline.
