The Good Harbor Area could well be called the
heart of
Leelanau County. Between the sheltering landmarks of Pyramid Point to
the
south and Whaleback to north, Good Harbor Bay served as an early haven
for ships in times of storm. The Bay drew early settlers to Leelanau,
who
stayed to farm and log the area. The town of North Unity has long since
been erased from most memories, its once grand dock no more than a few
worn pilings at Good Harbor Beach, but the communities of Cedar and
Maple
City endure.
