About this map

Stonington anchors this coastal survey, situated on the western shore of the Stonington Peninsula between the waters of Lake Michigan and Little Bay de Noc. This landscape is defined by its transition from the wooded reaches of the Hiawatha National Forest to the strategic maritime points that guide vessels into the bays. Near the settlement, Lakeview Cem provides a genealogical touchstone for local families, while the narrow finger of land tapers southward toward the iconic Peninsula Point.

The hydrography of the region is prominent, featuring interior water bodies like Sandstrom Lake and the drainage of Wilsey Bay Cr. Off the coast, the map details the submerged hazards of Peninsula Point Shoal and Eleven Foot Shoal, marking the entrance to Green Bay. Named coastal features such as Deepwater Point, Dutchman Point, and Wilsey Bay Point illustrate the irregular, weather-beaten shoreline that has long dictated the navigation and settlement patterns of Delta County.
