About this map

Port Austin and the coastal settlement of Port Crescent anchor this shoreline study where the waters of Saginaw Bay meet the open expanse of Lake Huron. The landscape is defined by its maritime hazards, with Hat Point Reef and Flat Rock Point Reef extending significantly into the bay from their respective landforms. The Pinnebog River meanders toward the coast near the southern reaches of the map, carving a path through the low-lying terrain before reaching the lake.

Local history is preserved at the Port Crescent Cemetery, a vital marker for genealogists researching the families of this Thumb-region community. The road network, including N Van Dyke Rd and Knoblock Rd, connects the interior farmlands to the harbor and seasonal residences along Shore Dr. This survey reflects the modern configuration of Huron County’s northern tip, balancing established village centers with the preserved natural features of the lakeshore.
