Coast Chart No. 1, North End of Green Bay Including Northwest Shore of Lake Michigan

Description:

One navigational chart entitled, "Coast Chart No. 1, North End of Green Bay Including Northwest Shore of Lake Michigan," that was compiled and published as part of the Survey of the Northern and Northwestern Lakes (War Department, Corps of Engineers). It was prepared under the direction of Major Charles Keller and Major C. S. Riché of the Corps of Engineers. The chart is drawn at a scale of 1:120,000 and shows the northwestern end of Lake Michigan and Green Bay from Arthur Bay, Wisconsin, to Seul Choix Point on the south shore of the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Land areas are shaded in pale yellow. Lake areas are shown in white and light blue. Distances are given in statute miles. Soundings for lake depths are given in feet and fathoms. Lines of latitude and longitude are shown in black. Lighthouses and buoys are also shown along with notes for sailing directions, dangers and water level data. The chart was originally published in 1910, but a note indicates that aids to navigation have been corrected to March 24, 1922. Two inset maps in the upper left corner of the chart show enlarged details of Cedar River, Wisconsin, and Nahma, Michigan.
