Description:

One navigational chart entitled, "Manitou Passage, Lake Michigan." The chart was "Prepared from U. S. Surveys and first issued under the direction of Major W. L. Fisk, Corps of Engineers, U. S. Army, in 1902." It was later revised and "published under the direction of Lieut. Colonel Mason M. Patrick, Corps of Engineers, U. S. Army, in 1915."

The chart was printed in black ink on white paper and was published by the U. S. Lake Survey Office. Land areas are colored pale yellow and shallow areas of the lake are colored light blue. The chart was "Issued January 12, 1916" with "Aids to navigation corrected from information received to April 16, 1920."
