M-201 (Michigan highway)

M-201 starts on the south side of the Northport at [[M-22 (Michigan highway)|M-22]] and runs north on Shabwasung Street. The highway turns east onto Main Street for one block; the area in town is predominantly residential. At the intersection with Waukazoo Street, the trunkline turns north until it meets Nagonaba Street where it runs west for a block before turning north onto Mill Street, passing near the marina. Heading out of the village, the highway crosses Northport Creek and passes some small farms. The designation ends at the village limits just south of the three-way intersection of Mill Street, County Road 640 (CR&nbsp;640), and East Peterson Park Road. CR&nbsp;640 continues northward to [[Leelanau State Park]] at the tip of the [[Leelanau Peninsula]]<ref name=PRFA/><ref name=google>{{google maps |url= https://maps.google.com/maps?saddr=S+Shabwasung+St&daddr=45.12791,-85.616884+to:Mill+St&hl=en&sll=45.123573,-85.616831&sspn=0.007298,0.007285&geocode=FZSLsAIdCpPl-g%3BFeaYsAIdDJfl-il5-ofE2yZLTTF9w71MxUhBNQ%3BFdjYsAIdiJzl-g&t=h&mra=ls&via=1&z=15 |title= Overview Map of M-201 |access-date=September 29, 2010}}</ref>
