				  line between sections 6 and 7, T40N, R4W, of Mackinac county intersects the
				  ordinary high-water mark, approximately 45 degrees 52'54"N latitude, and then
				  directly true eastward to Mackinac Island. The boundary then moves generally
				  south and eastward along the ordinary high-water mark of the south side of
				  Mackinac Island until it reaches the southern tip of the east breakwall
				  extending outward from Mission point to Mackinac Island. The northern boundary
				  then extends in a southwesterly direction from the tip of the breakwall to the
				  abandoned lighthouse on the west end of Round Island and then along the
				  ordinary high-water mark of the western shore of Round Island and then along
				  the ordinary high-water mark of the southern shore of Round Island to the point
				  of land at the southeastern tip of Round Island. The northern boundary extends
				  from this point across to Lime Kiln Point on Bois Blanc Island and then along
				  the ordinary high-water mark of the southern shore until it intersects the
				  eastern boundary at 84 degrees 30'W longitude. The southern boundary shall
				  start at the intersection of the western boundary with the southern peninsula,
				  84 degrees 56'22"W longitude, and extends generally eastward along the ordinary
				  high-water mark to a point where the eastern boundary intersects the southern
				  peninsula, 84 degrees 30'W longitude, Cheboygan, Emmet, and Mackinac counties,
				  Michigan, which area contains 148 square miles, more or less.
