About this map

Whitefish Point stands as a prominent geographic feature at the northern edge of the Michigan peninsula, where the waters of Lake Superior stretch across the majority of the quadrangle. This 2011 survey documents a landscape defined by its maritime and ecological significance, centered on the terminus of N Whitefish Point Rd. The land is relatively sparse, with development focused near the point, including the Whitefish Point Bird Observatory and the local commercial presence of Browns Fishery.

Further inland, the map shows a network of local roads such as W North Shore Rd and W Wild Cat Rd, which weave through the forested terrain. Genealogists and local historians will find the Whispering Pines Cemetery located along W Cemetery Rd, while natural features like Little Lake mark the transition from the shoreline to the interior woods. This map captures the area as a dedicated site for conservation and small-scale maritime activity in the early 21st century.
