Map[edit]

There are two issues with this map: 1. There's a dot which I assume is meant to be at Sault Ste. Marie, but is actually located at St. Ignace. 2. I think it is highly questionable that dots are placed at "Sault Ste. Marie" (see preceding item) and Traverse City. Yes, the United States Code allows court to be held there. This doesn't mean court is actually held there. A review of the website for the court, for example, turns up no references to either Sault Ste. Marie or Traverse City. If the court is not choosing to make use of those locations, it's highly misleading for the map to note them. MrArticleOne (talk) 20:44, 3 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I think it's telling that the court has a map that's very similar to ours but pointedly does not have dots for either Traverse City or Sault Ste. Marie: http://www.miwd.uscourts.gov/images/map_slate_d1.jpg MrArticleOne (talk) 20:45, 3 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
