2017 Map of Sand Point

About this map

Sand Point extends into the waters of Lake Huron, serving as a focal point for this coastal survey of Michigan's Thumb region. The map emphasizes the relationship between the residential development at the point and the surrounding aquatic environment, with the peninsula dividing Saginaw Bay to the north from Wild Fowl Bay to the south. Local transit on the point is defined by a simple network of thoroughfares including N Shore Dr, Shore Dr, and Crescent Beach Rd. The map also captures the maritime boundary between Arenac and Huron counties as it cuts across the open water. This 2017 edition provides a clear record of the shoreline and low-lying wetland areas that define the region's geography.
