Reference map of the archipelago with terrain and bathymetric depth tinting — fifteen islands on the shallow shelf of northern Lake Michigan, with North and South Fox. Archipelago scope follows the 2023 Beaver Island Master Plan.
Visual descriptionwritten by a machine · unchecked
A vertically oriented reference map shows cream-colored landmasses surrounded by blue shaded water with numerous contour lines. Labels, a latitude-and-longitude grid, red point markers, and a kilometers scale bar appear throughout the map.
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.

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 Plate I in the Atlas plates collection. The drawing is recorded as CC BY 4.0; underlying data credits include OpenStreetMap contributors, USGS 3DEP terrain, and NOAA NCEI bathymetry. The catalogue record identifies the scope as fifteen islands, including North and South Fox Islands, and dates the planning scope to 2023.
Could not make out
Stated rather than guessed at.
Small credit text along the bottom edge and some coordinate labels are too small to transcribe confidently.

This sheet is published as a IIIF Image API 3.0 Level 0 service: a pre-generated pyramid of static tiles, served as plain files with no image server behind them. The viewer above reads it, and so will any IIIF viewer you point at the service description.
Because it is IIIF rather than a private tile format, tools outside this archive can use it too — including Allmaps, which can georeference a historical sheet from exactly this service and lay it over a modern map.
