Summary

In summer 2004, geology student Tristan Jones gathered GPS readings around Beaver Island for a new Geologic Survey map. The Beacon said preliminary copies might become available, but no production date had been set.

Evidence limits

The report documents field data collection and a possible draft, not a completed or authoritative map.
