2011 Map of South Point

About this map

Lake Huron dominates this coastal landscape along the eastern edge of Alpena County, where the shoreline of Thunder Bay meets the open water. The map documents a sparsely developed reach of Sanborn Township, defined by its maritime features rather than dense settlement. Notable landforms include South Point and Hardwood Point, which frame the small inlets of the coast. Offshore, the survey identifies isolated landmasses such as Scarecrow Island and Bird Island, providing essential detail for researchers interested in the historical geography of the Michigan shoreline. Landward access is primarily represented by Brousseau Rd, illustrating the limited road network that serviced this waterfront area during the early 21st century. The map provides a precise look at the interface between the lake and the low-lying coastal terrain prior to more modern shoreline changes.
