2012 Map of South Fox Island OE W

About this map

Lake Michigan dominates this aquatic survey, where the open waters of the Manitou Passage meet the northeastern reaches of the lake. The western edge of South Fox Island appears along the eastern margin of the sheet, providing a narrow terrestrial anchor in a landscape defined by maritime navigation and isolated coastal geography. As part of Leelanau Township, this segment of the island represents one of the more secluded landmasses in the archipelago, where the shoreline is shaped by the relentless action of the lake. The map reflects the minimal development and remote character of these offshore islands during the early twenty-first century, focusing on the interface between the lake's vast surface and the sandy, wooded periphery of the island.
