+ About this map

Lake Leelanau runs like a ribbon down the middle of Michigan’s Leelanau Peninsula, a long glacial lake split into north and south arms joined at a narrows by the village of Lake Leelanau. It stretches some 20 miles through orchard and vineyard country, with Leland at its outlet to Lake Michigan and Sleeping Bear Dunes just over the hills to the west.

The depth contours follow the lake’s shape: long, parallel lines tracing a drowned valley rather than a bowl. Shallow margins hug the shore, then the bottom slides toward a trench that runs the length of each arm, with contours dropping past 60 feet. The map reads as a single continuous channel, pinched at the narrows, carved by ice and filled ever since.
