2011 Map of Prentiss Bay

About this map

Prentiss Bay and the jagged shoreline of Mackinac County characterize this coastal study of the Lake Huron waterfront. The area is defined by a series of deep-water indentations including Scotty Bay, Beaver Tail Bay, and Dudley Bay, separated by distinctive landforms such as Whitefish Point and Beaver Tail Point. Inland, the landscape is dotted with smaller bodies of water like Loon Lake and Little Trout Lake, while the Cedar Campus Camp sits near the head of the primary bay. Submerged hazards are a prominent feature of these waters, with several named shallows like Surveyors Reef, Tobin Reef, and Pomeroy Reef extending well out from the coast. This map illustrates the transition from the wooded shores of the Upper Peninsula to the complex maritime environment of the northern Great Lakes, where isolated points like Cadogan Point and Stevenson Point reach into the open water.
