2017 Map of Suttons Bay

About this map

Suttons Bay serves as the focal point of this coastal landscape, situated along the West Arm Grand Traverse Bay of Lake Michigan. The interior is defined by the elongated profile of Lake Leelanau, which stretches through the center of the quadrangle. This 2017 survey shows a pattern of rural settlements and shorefront developments, including Fountain Point and Leelanau Shores. Genealogists will find a significant concentration of local cemeteries, such as the Norwegian Lutheran Cem, Saint Michael Cem, and Maple Grove Cem, reflecting the area's diverse cultural heritage. Small inland hubs like Keswick and Bingham are linked by a network of county roads, while natural drainage features like Leo Cr and Mebert Cr flow toward the larger basins, illustrating the local topography's influence on transportation and land use in this northern Michigan peninsula.
