Island-scale maritime reference context for Beaver Island: NOAA bathymetry, GNIS named bays and harbors, and locally mapped OSM waterfront features; not a navigational chart.
Visual descriptionwritten by a machine · unchecked
A vertically oriented map plate shows a large pale landmass surrounded by blue water with shaded depth contours. Fine grid lines, shoreline outlines, scattered point markers, and a red route line appear across the map. A small legend is positioned near the upper left, and a scale bar appears near the lower left.
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.

Taken from the record
Not observed in the image — supplied by the archive's own catalogue, and repeated here so the two stay distinguishable.
The catalogue identifies this as an atlas plate titled “Beaver Island coasts, harbors, and navigation context.” It states that the drawing uses NOAA Great Lakes bathymetry, GNIS named bays and harbors, and locally mapped OSM waterfront features, and is not a navigational chart. The drawing is recorded as CC BY 4.0, with underlying data credited to OpenStreetMap contributors, USGS GNIS, USGS 3DEP, and NOAA NCEI.
Could not make out
Stated rather than guessed at.
Small legend entries and map labels are too small to transcribe reliably.
