Summary

Fox Pointe is a source-attested subdivision or parcel grouping on Beaver Island. A December 1998 Beaver Beacon report refers to parcels 4–10 and says the access easement serving them was to be named Fox Pointe Trail.

The source does not supply a plat, legal description, boundary, ownership chain, or evidence that all seven parcels were developed. The displayed point is an approximate current-parcel cluster locator, not a recorded plat centroid, access-easement point, or legal boundary.

Open questions

  • Which recorded plat or easement instrument defines parcels 4–10 of Fox Pointe?
  • Does the current Fox Pointe Trail follow the 1998 easement named in the report?
  • Can county parcel data resolve the subdivision boundary and individual lots?
