Summary

Enoch Hill is a source-qualified locality or address name associated with Beaver Island’s current Enoch Hill Road. A February 1966 Beaver Beacon item refers to correspondence addressed to Enoch Hill on Beaver Island, providing an older local attestation than the current map.

The held source does not establish a separate settlement, exact extent, or the origin of the road name. This record therefore remains a research lead rather than a mapped place boundary.

  2. The held seven-page issue scan is paired with the OCR source and confirms the published notice or report; it does not expand the source-specific identity, event, or outcome claims.
