Small state park marking Michigan’s historic principal meridian and baseline—granite survey monuments, open meadow, mature trees and Pleasant Lake nearby. Photograph the stone markers with seasonal color (fall leaves, winter snow) and low-angle compositions that include the landscape and interpretive plaques. Best light: golden hour and overcast for even detail; weekdays and mornings for solitude. Easy roadside parking, no entry fee, short walks on grass paths—respect the markers and local rules
