Welcome to Mackinac Island Geocaching
To help make your time on Mackinac Island more enjoyable, I have assembled some information here.
Maps
Located at the island's information booth at (Maps N45 50.971 W84 37.075). I highly recommend picking up an "Mackinac Island Map" from the information booth across the street from the Arnold ferry docks. If the maps are not in the holders on the front of the building, look on the sides of the building. The one available at the information booth is printed on a glossy paper and holds up fairly well when repeatedly tucked in and out of a pocket or caching bag.

These waypoints can be download as a zipped GPX file here. If I would put these as child waypoints on each cache you would end up with many child waypoints with the same coords but different names. If I put them on a couple a cache pages then you may not download those caches. I would love to hear how this works out for you or if you have any suggestions.
