Lake Michigan Coast Waugoshance Point to Boulder Reef Brevort to Seul Choix Point including Beaver Island Group (1957), Nautical Chart, scale 80000.
Visual descriptionwritten by a machine · unchecked
A printed nautical chart shows a broad waterway bordered by shorelines and dotted with numerous islands. The chart contains depth soundings, navigation marks, latitude and longitude grids, compass roses, plotted lines, and several inset map panels. Land areas are shaded yellow, while water areas are pale blue and white.
A model wrote this. It was shown the image and the catalogue record together, and asked to keep them apart — what it saw is here, what the record told it is under "taken from the record" below. It is still wrong often enough to matter, about who is pictured, where, when, and what is happening. Read it as a way to find the image, never as evidence about it. If you can correct it, please do: write to michael.bommarito@gmail.com, or see how corrections work. Someone who recognises a face or a shoreline knows more than the model did.

LAKE MICHIGAN WAUGOSHANCE POINT TO BOULDER REEF AND BREVORT TO SEUL CHOIX POINT INCLUDING BEAVER ISLAND GROUP
Taken from the record
Not observed in the image — supplied by the archive's own catalogue, and repeated here so the two stay distinguishable.
Catalogue records identify this as a 1957 chart attributed to the NOAA Office of Coast Survey, with a recorded scale of 1:80,000. The catalogue title identifies the mapped area as the coast from Waugoshance Point to Boulder Reef and from Brevort to Seul Choix Point, including the Beaver Island Group.
Could not make out

Material goes off the web without anyone deciding that it should: a host lapses, a gallery is retired, a link stops resolving. Holding a copy — with its provenance, its checksum and its holder's terms recorded beside it — is much of why this archive exists. If you are looking for something whose original has since gone, write to michael.bommarito@gmail.com and a full-size copy of what is held here will be sent to you.
Recorded verbatim from the provenance sidecar taken at retrieval — this archive does not restate a holder's terms in its own words, does not add a restriction the holder did not state, and does not abridge one.

The archive holds its own copy of that file and will supply it on request; it is not re-served here, because the holder serves it better and a second copy is a second thing to go stale.
