About this map

Washington Island anchors the northwestern corner of this coastal survey, where the terrestrial landscape meets the expansive waters of Lake Michigan. The interior geography is defined by significant wetland areas, specifically Little Marsh and Big Marsh, which illustrate the island's low-lying drainage patterns near the northern shore. A network of local corridors, including Michigan Rd, Deer Lane Rd, and Wickman Rd, provides access to these interior reaches and the northern coastline.

The western shoreline of the island is traced by N Hemlock Dr and S Hemlock Dr, leading down to the distinct geographic marker of South Point. Offshore, the maritime environment is documented with hazards and passages such as Fisherman Shoal, Hog Island, and the deep-water Whitefish Channel. This map captures the island's infrastructure and natural boundaries, from the residential potential along Shellswick Ln to the rugged coastal edge at the edge of the lake.
