About this map

Shelldrake and Paradise anchor the eastern shoreline of the Upper Peninsula in this survey of the Whitefish Township coast. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the Shelldrake River and its various branches, including the South Br Shelldrake River and S Br Shelldrake River, which drain into Lake Superior. The interior is a complex network of wetlands and small water bodies such as Hawkins Lake, Andrus Lake, and the McMullan Lakes.

Tracing the local transportation network reveals a mix of established roads like Vermillion Rd and more specialized routes such as W Farm Truck Trl. Genealogists and local historians will find the Paradise Cem located at the southern end of the map near the settlement of Paradise. The transition from the inland Shelldrake Lake to the vast Great Lakes coast illustrates the unique hydrology of this Michigan region.
