About this map

Port Inland Light stands at the edge of Lake Michigan, marking the western entrance to this shoreline area during a period of early aerial survey development. The northern coast is characterized by a low-lying, watery landscape where Swan Marsh dominates the central terrain. Inland, several small water bodies including Batty Doe Lake and Little Mud Lake are pocketed among the wetlands, reflecting the post-glacial drainage patterns of the Upper Peninsula. Near the southwestern corner, the industrial and maritime development of Inland Harbor is visible, positioned just north of the prominent Hughes Point. This 1931 survey is notable for its use of early aerial photographs taken by the Air Corps, U. S. Army, providing a transition from traditional ground survey methods to modern photogrammetry in mapping the Michigan coast.
