Lake Huron and the waters of Thunder Bay dominate this coastal landscape on the edge of Alpena County. The shoreline is defined by the sharp protrusion of South Point, which marks the transition between the open lake and the protected bay. Scattered just offshore are small landforms such as Scarecrow Island and Bird Island, while Hardwood Point frames the northern reaches of the bay. Inland, the map reveals a sparsely developed area within t29n r9e of the Public Land Survey System. The infrastructure is limited to local connectors like Brousseau Rd and Wilds Rd, reflecting a quiet, rural character focused on the natural interface of the Great Lakes coastline. This 2014 survey documents the exact positioning of these coastal features and the primary roads providing access to the peninsula.
