About this map

Mackinac Island and Bois Blanc Island dominate this coastal survey of the Straits of Mackinac, where the upper and lower peninsulas of Michigan nearly meet. The northern tip of the map focuses on the historic fortifications of Fort Mackinac and Fort Holmes, along with the Mackinac Island Post Office and the Mackinac Island Cem. These landmarks represent centuries of strategic importance at the gateway to Lake Huron.

Southward across the water, the Round Island Wilderness sits preserved within the Hiawatha National Forest. Further south, the sprawling landscape of Bois Blanc Island is detailed with local thoroughfares such as Lime Kiln Point Dr and Bible Rd, extending toward the Bois Blanc Island Airport near Zela Point. This map captures a unique island-based transport network, from the carriage-friendly roads of Mackinac to the remote airstrip and shoreline points of Bois Blanc.
