Summary

This held NOAA chart is the 1935 Beaver Island Group Including North Shore of Lake Michigan nautical chart (LS79), at catalog scale 1:80,000. It supplies a primary navigational-map snapshot in the same chart-number sequence as the held 1931 LS79 sheet.

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 1935, 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.
