2023 Map of Point Patterson

About this map

Newton Township Cem stands as a focal point for genealogical interest in this coastal stretch of Mackinac County, situated north of the rugged Lake Michigan shoreline. The landscape is defined by a series of prominent coastal projections, including Point Patterson, Scott Point, and Cozy Point, which break the shoreline between Birch Point and Grants Point. Inland, the terrain is characterized by a network of wetlands and small lakes, such as Stone Lake, Island Lake, and Bruders Lake. These water bodies are connected by narrow drainages like the Cataract River, Newton Creek, and Hudson Creek, which flow toward the Mackinac Channel. Local transit is facilitated by rural routes such as Leveille Rd and S Gould City Rd, providing access through the timbered tracts of Newton Township.
