About this map

Lake Michigan defines the eastern half of this survey, where the Michigan shoreline forms a series of jagged projections into the water. Point Aux Barques and Bourassas Point stand as prominent landmarks along this coastal stretch, which is characterized by seasonal creek outlets and specialized access roads. Further north, the underwater hazard of Wiggins Point Shoal extends from Wiggins Point, illustrating the navigational complexities of this section of the Upper Peninsula.

Inland, the landscape is segmented by small drainage systems like Dead Horse Creek and Tebo Creek. Modern development is reflected in a network of residential and access routes such as Hidden Shores Dr and Hardwoods Trail, which wind through the forested terrain. The map captures a quiet coastal geography where family-named landmarks like Miller Point and Pillows Point mark the interface between the wooded interior and the lake.
