Summary
This held NOAA chart is the 1900 North End of Lake Michigan Including the Beaver Island Group (LS0), at catalog scale 1:120,000. It supplies a dated navigation-map snapshot of the archipelago and its approaches.
Evidence and limits
The NOAA catalog and the held image establish the chart’s title, year, type, scale, public-domain status, and coverage. The image’s correction notice says that aids to navigation were corrected from information received through 1 February 1900. That makes the sheet useful for chronological comparison with the 1855 Lake Survey chart and later NOAA charts.
This is not evidence of current navigation conditions, ownership, settlement, traffic, light operation, or exact modern boundaries. Individual chart symbols, soundings, and correction details need a feature-level reading of the full resolution sheet before they support separate claims.
