About this map

Little Bay De Noc dominates the western shoreline of this coastal landscape, where the 1932 shoreline reveals a network of isolated points and small harbors. Along the coast, the Squaw Point LH stands as a primary navigational landmark, situated near the small settlements of Maywood Park and Maywood. The interior reflects a rural social structure anchored by localized education and community spaces, including the Wagner Sch, Central Sch, and Grange Hall. This document, based on field examinations by the U.S. Geological Survey and early aerial photography by the Air Corps, shows a transition from the water-focused economy of the bay to the inland marshlands and forests. Moving east from the bay, the terrain is cut by Squaw Creek and Little Squaw Creek, eventually reaching inland water bodies like Lake Sixteen. Local history and genealogy interest is found in the placement of Lakewood Cem and the scatter of rural schoolhouses such as Halfway Sch.
