About this map

The eastern shoreline of Leelanau Peninsula, bordering the expansive waters of Lake Michigan, is defined here by a series of points and protected bays. Omena Bay and Northport Bay anchor the coastline, providing natural harbors that supported the growth of small shoreline communities. In Omena, the concentration of local institutions like the Omena Post Office and Omena Marina suggests a long-standing maritime and civic hub, while the presence of the Omena Presbyterian Cemetery and Omena Cemetery provides significant points of interest for genealogists.

Further south, Peshawbestown and Ahgosatown reflect the area's complex settlement history, punctuated by the Immaculate Conception Catholic Cemetery. The landscape transitions from these historical village centers to recreational sites like Timber Shores Resort and Shady Trails Camp, showing the 21st-century evolution of the area into a summer destination. Inland, small water bodies such as Mougeys Lake and Bass Lake are fed by coastal streams including Weaver Creek and Ennis Creek.
