About this map

Suttons Bay and its sheltered harbor define the northeastern shoreline of this Leelanau County survey, where the village and its nearby Saint Michael Cem overlook the West Arm Grand Traverse Bay. To the west, the elongated waters of Lake Leelanau stretch across the landscape, connected to the smaller Provemont Pond near the settlement of Lake Leelanau. The geography here is marked by narrow ridges and drainages like Merbert Cr and Lee Cr that flow toward the larger basins.

Rural life is anchored by scattered hamlets and local landmarks, including Fountain Point, Keswick, and Bingham. Genealogists will find several notable burial grounds, such as the Norwegian Lutheran Cem and Sutton Township Cem, which reflect the area's early settlement patterns. The map detail highlights the network of local roads and land divisions that frame the orchards and shorelines between the larger bay and the inland lake.
