2014 Map of South Manitou Island

About this map

Lake Michigan surrounds the eastern shoreline of a landmass dominated by the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore. This 2014 survey documents the coastal topography and land management boundaries of the region, specifically within the townships of t31n r15w and t30n r15w. The map focuses on the steep elevation changes and natural dune formations that characterize this protected lakefront environment. By charting the specific survey sections and land divisions, the map provides a clear record of the intersection between federal parklands and the Michigan shoreline in the early 21st century.
