1983 Map of Point Aux Barques

USGS Topo · Published 1984

About this map

Thompson park and the winding coast of Lake Michigan define this Lake-era survey of Schoolcraft County. The landscape is characterized by its numerous small waterways, including the curiously named Dead Horse Creek, Snyder Creek, and Gierke Creek, which all drain toward the irregular shoreline. This map illustrates the intersection of industrial use and natural terrain, showing several Gravel Pits and the primary transit corridor of Little Harbor Road. Several named geographic projections, such as Wiggins Point, Bourassas Point, and the eponymous Point aux Barques, provide specific landmarks for maritime and local history researchers. The presence of sand deposits and varying coastal elevations highlights the shifting nature of the shoreline before modern developments changed the local topography.
