About this map

The northern reaches of Little Bay de Noc meet the mouth of the Whitefish River in this survey of Delta County's coast. The settlement of Rapid River serves as the focal point, situated where the Rapid River waterway and the Tacoosh River converge before entering the bay. This area shows a transition between shoreline communities and the dense woodland road networks of the Upper Peninsula, with long-established sites like Masonville and Garth lining the water's edge.

Genealogists can find localized details at the Rapid River Cemetery and Garth Point Cemetery, while the presence of the Rapid River Post Office and Rapid River Lookout Tower mark the town's historical infrastructure. Recreational land use is evident along the coast at the Whispering Valley Camp Ground and further south at the Vagabond Resort and Campground near Schaawe-Lake. The map also captures smaller interior settlements like Maplewood and Alton, linked by a complex web of rural routes and forest roads.
