North End of Lake Michigan including Green Bay the Straits of Makinac (1906), Nautical Chart, scale 400000.
Visual descriptionwritten by a machine · unchecked
A large tan printed nautical chart shows irregular coastlines, green land areas, blue waterways, dense depth soundings, navigation lines, and several compass roses. Explanatory text blocks, tabular information, and a dark border surround the mapped area.
A model wrote this. It was shown the image and the catalogue record together, and asked to keep them apart — what it saw is here, what the record told it is under "taken from the record" below. It is still wrong often enough to matter, about who is pictured, where, when, and what is happening. Read it as a way to find the image, never as evidence about it. If you can correct it, please do: write to michael.bommarito@gmail.com, or see how corrections work. Someone who recognises a face or a shoreline knows more than the model did.

NORTH END OF LAKE MICHIGAN GREEN BAY AND THE STRAITS OF MACKINAC
Taken from the record
Not observed in the image — supplied by the archive's own catalogue, and repeated here so the two stay distinguishable.
Catalogued as a 1906 nautical chart produced by the NOAA Office of Coast Survey. The catalogue title is “NORTH END OF LAKE MICHIGAN INCLUDING GREEN BAY THE STRAITS OF MAKINAC”; scale 1:400,000. It is held in the NOAA Office of Coast Survey Historical Map & Chart Collection and is recorded as public domain.
Could not make out
Stated rather than guessed at.
Small labels, soundings, and much of the fine print are not legible at this image size.

Material goes off the web without anyone deciding that it should: a host lapses, a gallery is retired, a link stops resolving. Holding a copy — with its provenance, its checksum and its holder's terms recorded beside it — is much of why this archive exists. If you are looking for something whose original has since gone, write to michael.bommarito@gmail.com and a full-size copy of what is held here will be sent to you.
Recorded verbatim from the provenance sidecar taken at retrieval — this archive does not restate a holder's terms in its own words, does not add a restriction the holder did not state, and does not abridge one.

The archive holds its own copy of that file and will supply it on request; it is not re-served here, because the holder serves it better and a second copy is a second thing to go stale.
