About this map

Gould City Township Cemetery sits along the northern edge of this coastal landscape, marking a localized point of heritage for Mackinac County. The geography is defined by the jagged shoreline of Lake Michigan, where several prominent projections including Point Patterson, Birch Point, and Scott Point reach into the water. These points alternate with small inland water bodies and drainage systems, such as Stone Lake, Bruders Lake, and the winding Cataract River.

Transport through this part of Newton Township is limited to a few arterial routes like S Gould City Rd and Leveille Rd, which cut through the low-lying terrain near the coast. The map illustrates a classic Upper Peninsula shoreline characterized by numerous creeks like Newton Creek and Point Patterson Creek that drain toward the great lake, highlighting the intricate relationship between the inland wetlands and the Lake Michigan coast.
