About this map

Point Nipigon and Grand View overlook the Straits of Mackinac at the northern tip of Michigan's lower peninsula. This shoreline landscape is defined by the South Channel of Lake Huron and the inland drainage of the Little Black River and its West Branch. The map shows a transition from the coastal resorts and residential pockets along Nicolet Dr and Edgewater Dr to the agricultural and wooded interior of Cheboygan County.

Transportation corridors dominate the geography, from the historic route of Old Mackinaw Rd to the modern N Central State Trail. To the southeast, the Cheboygan County Airport sits as a significant landmark, surrounded by a grid of rural roads such as Levering Rd and Hebron Mail Route Rd. The map also captures the Mackinac and Cheboygan County boundary as it extends through the waters of the straits.
