About this map

Port Hope serves as the focal point of this Huron County shoreline, where a grid of streets including Main St and State St meets the western edge of Lake Huron. The landscape is defined by its relationship with the water, featuring distinct coastal indentations like Whiskey Harbor, Snug Harbor, and Forest Bay. Inland, the terrain is drained by several small waterways such as Diamond Cr, Ocha Cr, and Schnucker Cr, which cut through the agricultural and residential blocks of t18n r15e and t17n r15e.

Genealogists will find a high density of burial sites along the lakeshore, from Gore Cem in the north to Ludington Cem and Forest Bay Cem further south. These sites, along with Port Hope Cem and Lake View Cem, provide a clear record of local settlement patterns near Rubicon Beach. The road network, including the coastal N Lakeshore Rd and rural connectors like Kinde Rd and Filion Rd, illustrates the modern layout of these historic townships.
