2016 Map of Washington Island SE

About this map

Washington Island anchors the northwestern corner of this maritime study, revealing the rugged eastern coastline of the island as it meets the vast expanse of Lake Michigan. The map details the low-lying wetlands of Big Marsh and Little Marsh, which transition into a network of local roads such as Michigan Rd and Old Mill Rd that serve the island's sparse residential and agricultural corridors. Off the coast, the isolated Hog Island and the submerged hazard of Fisherman Shoal define the navigational challenges near the Whitefish Channel. This 2016 survey emphasizes the island's natural conservation areas and coastal landforms, from the northern marshes down to the sharp tip of South Point, providing a clear record of the modern shoreline and the established rural road system used by local families and seasonal visitors.
