2011 Map of Peninsula Point

About this map

Stonington sits at the northern end of a narrow landmass dividing the waters of Little Bay de Noc and Big Bay de Noc. This peninsula, part of Delta County, terminates at the distinct Peninsula Point, where the Peninsula Point Recreation Area marks the convergence of these major arms of Green Bay. The landscape is defined by its maritime exposure, with coastal features such as Dutchman Point and Deepwater Point punctuating the shoreline. Inland, the hydrology is modest but significant for the local ecosystem, including Sandstrom Lake and the winding Wilsey Bay Creek. Navigational hazards like Peninsula Point Shoal and Eleven Foot Shoal extend into Lake Michigan, hinting at the area's maritime history. Local heritage is centered around sites like Lakeview Cemetery and the rural road network, including Swede 13 Rd, reflecting the settlement's cultural roots.
