1964 Map of Pointe Aux Chenes

About this map

The coastal transition of the Upper Peninsula is documented here in the mid-1960s, where the Mackinac State Forest meets the sandy shores of Lake Michigan. This landscape is dominated by the complex drainage systems of the Pointe aux Chenes Marshes, a significant wetland area where the Pointe aux Chenes River winds toward its namesake bay. The map illustrates a region managed for conservation and recreation, evidenced by the Lake Michigan Campground and the expansive boundaries of the Hiawatha National Forest.
