1986 Map of South Fox Island

USGS Topo · Published 1986

About this map

South Fox Island and North Fox Island dominate this mid-1980s survey, isolated in the waters of Lake Michigan within Leelanau Twp. The map documents the physical isolation of these landforms before the widespread digitization of coastal records. While much of the terrain is characterized by the island topography, specific human modifications are noted, including a Landing Strip on each island and a Light at the southern tip of the larger landmass. These features point to a reliance on maritime and aerial navigation to maintain contact with the mainland. The detailed contour work on this provisional map illustrates the elevation changes across the interior of the islands, providing a clear picture of the land as it appeared during a period of updated photography and field checks in the 1980s.
