Susanna is on my lake map. If you're leaving chuck's marina, make a straight shot for the tip of the peninsula on your left (centerport rd) after which you need to turn left to get back to the middle of the lake. It's exactly 1 mile on your way, 1/3 of a mile before the tip of the point, 500 feet east from shore. This is above the susanna crossroad in the 1909 topo map that shows 4 buildings (dots, anyway). In a 1 mile radius, the topo shows about 20 other buildings, 7 of which are above lake level on 2 different peninsulas. There was a chuch in the slough on the other side of the peninsula.
As a double-check for position, the peninsula on your right ends before you get to it.
Lattitude: 32.739 +/-0.001
longitude: -85.845 +/- 0.002
NW quarter of Section 10, T20N, R22E, if someone wants to go to the county courthouse to get names :)
There is a Susanna Point Rd that comes off Centerport Rd towards Susanna crossroad, and there are 2 dots just offshore (exposed now?) but it's 2000 feet south of the crossroad itself.
