2011 Map of Port Austin West

About this map

Lake Huron defines the northern reaches of this coastal Michigan landscape, where the Pinnebog River winds toward the lake near the settlement of Port Crescent. The area is characterized by significant aquatic hazards and shoreline features, including Flat Rock Point Reef and Hat Point Reef, which extend into the lake from their respective headlands. Land use is largely recreational and residential, centered around the Port Crescent State Park Campground and Duggan's Family Campground. Local genealogy and history are anchored at the Port Crescent Cemetery, located south of the main river outlet. A network of rural roads like Sand Rd and Pointview Trl provide access to the various points and coves that dot this part of the Thumb region.
