Fisher Mill prologue This book came about as a spin-off of Glen Arbor’s Bicentennial celebration. Gathering infor- mation about historical landmarks for county recognition, locating photos and relics for the mini- museum, tape recording the memories of senior citizens, we re-discovered a vivid past. Many younger members of the community were fasci- nated too. Glen Arbor Township never grew to the greatness of Ann Arbor, or to the fame of other “Glens” and “Harbors” in Michigan.

  • Glen Lake, Leelanau County, Michigan
    Michigan Dept. of Natural Resources and Environment 2010-100 Status of the Fishery Resource Report Page 1 Glen Lake Chain (Glen, Little Glen, Big Fisher, Little Fisher, and Tucker Lakes) Leelanau County (T29N, R14W/15W, Multiple Sections) Heather Seites, Mark Tonello, and Todd Kalish Environment The Glen Lake watershed is located in Leelanau County, Michigan, in the northwest Lower Peninsula. This watershed drains approximately 46 square miles of land or 29,721 acres (U'Ren et al. 2009). Within this watershed there are five distinct basins; Little Glen Lake (1,450 acres),Glen Lake (4,865 acres), Big Fisher Lake (42 acres), Little Fisher Lake, and Tucker Lake (15 acres) (Figure 1). For the purpose of this report, Big Fisher and Little Fisher Lakes will be collectively referred to as Fisher Lake. Additionally there are two small ponds in the watershed, Day Mill Pond and Brooks Lake. Day Mill Pond (7 acres) is located on the northwestern shore of Little Glen Lake and drains into the lake through a small stream, while Brooks Lake (10 acres) flows in through a small creek on the eastern shore of Glen Lake. The primary inlet to the Glen Lake system is Hatlem Creek, which flows into the southern end of Glen Lake near the intersection of County Roads 616 and 675. The primary outlet to the Glen Lake system is the Crystal River, which discharges into Sleeping Bear Bay on Lake Michigan. Little Glen Lake and Hatlem Creek both drain into Glen Lake, which itself drains into Big Fisher Lake then Little Fisher Lake before finally flowing into the Crystal River.

  • Geologic Report on Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore
    GEOLOGIC REPCRT ON SLEEP ETC- BEAR DUNE NATIONAL IAKESHORE by Christopher Drexler Department of Geology The University of Michigan TABLE OF CONTENTS Subject Page Introduction 1 Bedrock Geology 2 Glacial Geology ^ Recommendations in Relation to Glacial Features 22 Lacustrine Geology 26 Recommendations in Relation to Lacustrine Features 3^ Dune Geology ^1 Conclusions 50 Literature Cited 52 ii INTRODUCTIC" This report is arranged in four sections which deal with, respectively, the bedrock, glacial, lake, and dune geology of the park. In each section discussions of the geologic history of certain features will be included in the belief that by doing so a better perspective can be gained of the feature importance. These discussions will introduce each section. Recommendations concerning various aspects of the park's geology compose the remainder of each section. Very little mention of North Manitcu Island will be made in the report. This is not because the island necessarily lacks valuable, geologic features, but, rather, because access to the island was refused by the chairman of the board of trustees that regulates North Manitcu. Thus, only the most super­ ficial observations can be made concerning the island. 1 BEDRCCK GEOLOGY Introduction Figure 1 shows the bedrock geology of the park. Undifferentiated Tra­ verse Group underlies all the park land including Worth and South Manitou Islands. Bedrock does not outcrop anywhere in the park because of a thick cover of glacial and lacustrine sediments. Economic Importance Recent drilling for natural gas near Williamsburg, east of the park, has encountered problems with gas escaping into a porous dolomite zone in the Tra­ verse Group, followed by its uncontrolled escape to the surface.

This booklet was compiled by Kerry Kelly, Friends of Sleeping Bear Dunes.

The National Park Service provided most of the photos. 2 Welcome to Glen Haven. This historic village on Sleeping Bear Bay is part of the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore. The National Park Service continues to restore the village to represent its condition in the 1920s. Back when this area was first getting settled, there were no trains, and roads were just sandy ruts. Ships provided the main mode of transportation for people and freight between major cities like Chicago and Buffalo which was a gateway to the major cities on the east coast. Along the route, little villages like Glen Haven provided essential services for the ships. There would be a long dock out to deep water where the vessel could be loaded and unloaded.

The residue of the melting glaciers about 10,000 years ago left Lake Michigan bordered by moraine bluffs, hills & swales, and serene inland lakes. As time passed, the prevailing westerly winds blew the sand out of the moraine bluffs and piled it into perched dunes to create the Sleeping Bear Dunes that we enjoy today. As you travel around Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore and northern Michigan, think about ice… A lot of ice.

The year before Michigan statehood was granted, the Indians ceded to the United States via the Treaty of Washington a huge portion of land, including the Leelanau Peninsula and the Manitou Islands. The Indians retained the right to hunt and fish in the new territory until permanent settlers came to stake their claims. The Glen Haven area was used by Indian hunters and maple syrup gathers, but was not the site of any major Indian settlement.
