Summary

The Second Wojan-Cashman Map of Beaver Island grew from a March 2006 meeting between Ed Wojan and the cartographer. The project combined current aerial and satellite imagery, USGS and county GIS data, historical corrections, and field checks of roads and trails, with drawing and computer work continuing through the spring and early summer.
