Abstract
The site chosen for this study was South Manitou
Island, the southernmost island of the fourteen island
archipelago in northern Lake Michigan. South Manitou and
its closest neighbor, North Manitou Island, which lies four
miles to the northwest are isolated by approximately
twenty miles from the next island in the chain, South Fox
Island. South Manitou Island is located close to the northwest
shore of Michigan's Lower Peninsula, with the nearest
point of mainland being Sleeping Bear Point, approximately
6.5 miles to the southeast. The island has
nearly thirteen miles of shoreline and covers 7.9 square
miles. Politically it is a part of Glen Arbor Township,
Leelanau County, Michigan. At present the National Park
Service is acquiring much of the island for inclusion in the
Sleeping Bear National Lakeshore and consequently much of
the island will be preserved in its natural state. Public
transportation to the island is a thirty-six mile round trip
originating from Leland, Michigan.
