About this map

Lake Huron shoreline and the wooded interior of Mackinac County define this 2019 survey, where the coast transitions from the sheltered Saint Martin Bay to the prominent Pontchartrain Point. The landscape is largely dominated by the Hiawatha National Forest, illustrating a region dedicated to conservation and recreational use. Settlement is sparse, anchored by the community of Simmons and the coastal area of Pontchartrain Shores.

Genealogists can identify localized burial grounds including Simmons Cem and Wequayoc Cem, while the map's details trace contemporary land management, such as the Farm Service Agency Interest of Michigan. A network of seasonal and recreational paths, including the Red Creek-Cedarville Snomo trail and the Pine River Canoe Route, highlights the area's modern identity as a destination for outdoor enthusiasts amidst its creeks and inland lakes like Cedar Lake and Round Lake.
