About this map

The Mackinac Bridge serves as the central artery for this maritime landscape, physically and economically connecting Michigan's peninsulas across the Straits of Mackinac. This 2014 survey captures the tri-county intersection of Mackinac, Emmet, and Cheboygan counties, highlighting the strategic importance of St. Ignace and Mackinaw City. Beyond the mainland settlements, the map details the southwestern tip of Mackinac Island, showing its unique geography from Radisson Point to Jacker Point, including the Mackinac Island Airport.

Navigation and local history are documented through features such as the St. Ignace-Mackinac Island Fry and landmarks like Old Mackinac Point. Genealogists will find interest in the documented burial grounds of Saint Ignace Loyola Catholic Cem and Lakeside Cem. The bathymetry of Lake Huron is subtly indicated by hazardous underwater features like North Graham Shoal and Majors Shoal, illustrating the navigational challenges inherent to these waters.
