1972 Map of Seul Choix Point

About this map

Seul Choix Point juts into the northern waters of Lake Michigan, serving as a critical maritime landmark defined by its historic Lighthouse and nearby Coast Guard Sta. This 1972 survey captures the peninsula as a working landscape where industrial activity and conservation converge. Large Quarry operations and an Industrial zone with a Tailings Pond sit adjacent to the dense woodlands of the Manistique River State Forest. The interior is characterized by a network of freshwater bodies, including the expansive McDonald Lake and the smaller Shuberts Lake, drained by the winding courses of the Milakokia River and Bulldog Creek. This documentation provides a clear view of the Mueller township boundary and the primitive shoreline access points at Goudreau Harbor, illustrating the balance between Michigan's resource extraction and its protected wilderness during the early 1970s.
