About this map

Saginaw Bay dominates this coastal survey, where the finger-like projection of Sand Point reaches out from the shoreline of Caseville Twp. The map illustrates a landscape defined by the water, showing the intricate bathymetry of the bay and the sheltered waters of Wildfowl Bay to the south. Along the northern coast of the point, the residential development of Crescent Beach is visible, served by Crescent Beach Rd.

Further offshore, the isolated landmass of North Island sits within the jurisdiction of Fairhaven Twp. This 1970 snapshot of the Lake Huron coast captures the area as it transitioned into a seasonal retreat, highlighting the specific canal developments and shoreline roads that define this particular stretch of the Michigan thumb. The detail includes numerous depth soundings and underwater contours, providing a clear picture of the shoals and channels surrounding these coastal features.
