Summary
This held NOAA chart is the 1928 Beaver Island Group Including North Shore of Lake Michigan from Waugoshance Point to Seul Choix Point nautical chart (LS79), at catalog scale 1:80,000. It provides a primary navigational-map snapshot of the archipelago and adjacent north Lake Michigan shore.
Evidence and limits
The NOAA catalog and provenance establish the chart’s title, chart number, year, type, scale, stated coverage, public-domain status, and held image. The chart is a navigational source from 1928, not a present-day navigation aid or a complete record of ownership, settlement, traffic, light operation, or every feature shown on the sheet.
Individual soundings, symbols, notices, and aids to navigation require a direct reading of the full-resolution image and cross-checking against the chart’s own revision information before they support separate factual claims.
