  Mackinac
National Park
Through the efforts of United State Senator Thomas
W. Ferry, a Mackinac Island native, Congress passed an act on March 3,
1875 establishing a second national park to be located on Mackinac Island.
In 1895 the Governor of Michigan petitioned Congress to turn over the
1,041 acre park to the State of Michigan. Since this date the Mackinac
State Historic Parks have been overseen by a commission appointed by the
governor.
This Island map, created in 1883 by D.H. Kelton, appears in Edwin O. Wood's
Historic Mackinac published in 1918.
