Michigan, one of the north central United States, consists of two large peninsulas and many islands. The Upper Peninsula is bounded on the north by Lake Superior; on the east by St. Mary’s River and Lake Huron; on the south by Wisconsin, from which it is separated in part by Lake Michigan and Green Bay. The Lower Peninsula is bounded on the north by the Straits of Mackinac, on the east by Lake Huron, on the south by Ohio and Indiana, and on the west by Lake Michigan. The state lies between about 41º 41′ and 48º 18′ north latitude, and between 82º 7′ and 90º 25′ west longitude. It measures about 490 miles from north to south and about 300 miles from east to west. It contains approximately 96,716 square miles, or 61,898,240 acres.
This state project is part of the much larger American History & Genealogy Project or better known by the abbreviation of AHGP. It has been in existence online since 2000 and over the years has been spread out across the web. These pages are an attempt to consolidate it under one website of the larger project.
