2014 Map of Point Lookout

About this map

Point Lookout and the surrounding shoreline of Saginaw Bay define this 2014 geographic study of the Whitney Township coast. The landscape is characterized by a series of beach communities and seasonal settlements, including Glenwood Beach, Birchwood Shores, Hammell Beach, and Wagner Beach, all linked by the corridor of Us-23. Inland, the terrain is shaped by a network of drainage features like Dime Drain, Red Drain, and Silver Drain which manage the low-lying areas near Oxbow Lake and Cranberry Lake. Genealogists and local historians will find the placement of Whitney Sims Cem and Sims Cem particularly useful for tracing family roots in this corner of Arenac County. The map also captures the transition from the marshy interior to the prominent coastal landmarks of Whitestone Point and the sharp peninsula at the southern end of the sheet.
