Lake Michigan, Waugoshance Point to Boulder Reef and Brevort to Seul Choix Point, Mich. including Beaver Island Group

Nautical chart showing coastlines, islands, reefs, depth soundings, navigation marks, and inset harbor plans.

Lake Michigan, Waugoshance Point to Boulder Reef and Brevort to Seul Choix Point, Mich. including Beaver Island Group (1963), Nautical Chart, scale 80000.

Visual descriptionwritten by a machine · unchecked

A large nautical chart shows pale yellow land areas surrounded by blue water, with numerous depth soundings, shoals, reefs, navigation lines, compass roses, and latitude-longitude grid lines. Several inset harbor plans appear in the upper-left corner, and dense printed notes and chart information occupy the margins.

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.

Credit this to NOAA Office of Coast Survey, Historical Map & Chart Collection when you use it.

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.
