2011 Map of Seagull Point

About this map

The Cedar River and Bark River systems dominate this coastal landscape along the western shore of Lake Michigan. This 2011 survey illustrates the rural character of the region, where numerous small tributaries like Degraves Creek and Brill Brook drain into larger watercourses. For genealogists and local historians, the northern section of the map is particularly significant, showing the proximity of the Seventh Day Adventist Church and the Seventh Day Adventist Cemetery near the banks of Advent Creek. Transport across this terrain is facilitated by localized crossings such as Jam Dam Bridge and McCarty Bridge. The shoreline is punctuated by Seagull Point, a distinct geographic feature where Olson Creek meets the lake, providing a clear picture of the hydrologic network that has long shaped the settlement patterns of this Michigan coastline.
