Landmarks Unknown

Just a very vague snippet. All I know is I was looking at a book or something and it had these really old woodcuts and paintings and such of different natural Mackinac Island landmarks, like Arch Rock and such; they were all black and white or in sepia tones. Since they were so old some of the landmarks still in existence looked very weird because of the artist's rendition of them. I recall an arch and/or rock formation of some kind that I do not think was Arch Rock, and some of them had weird names that I didn't recognize, or else names that I've heard but that no longer are used on the island. I kept flipping through the pictures, puzzling over these antiquated names. I seem to remember focusing on this one arch in particular and wondering what its proper name was and if it was the same as any formations I'd heard of already, or if it was something different. I think it might have been what I think was supposed to be "Maiden Arch," which I thought was the same as the Sanilac Arch (though in real life I'm not sure), but I couldn't seem to find out for certain.

This dream was most likely influenced by the fact that right before going to bed, I had bought a book about Mackinac Island, which contains many antiquated photographs (all in sepia tones); the map also includes an old 1800s map which refers to some of the still-existing landmarks by names which I have never heard used for them before. And many of the older depictions of the island and its formations don't quite match the reality of what they look like, because they are so old.
