2011 Map of Traverse City SW

About this map

West Arm Grand Traverse Bay and Lake Michigan dominate the eastern edge of this Michigan landscape, where the maritime and recreational character of the region is clearly visible. The survey documents the transition from the bustling waterfront at Greilickville, featuring the Greilickville City Coal Dock and Traverse City Harbor, to the interior agricultural and residential hills. Local genealogy is well-preserved through family-named landmarks like Heimforth and Fouch, along with their respective burial grounds, Heimforth Cemetery and Fouch Cemetery. Educational history is anchored by the Lautner School and Stricker School. The map also illustrates the area's development as a leisure destination, noting the Timberlee Ski Area, Hickory Hills Ski Area, and several golf courses situated between the freshwater shores of Lake Leelanau and the larger bay.
