Alternative names for Michigan's peninsulas?

The Chillicothe in Missouri is pronounced as it looks, chili as in the food and kawthee with a th and long enough as in "thee fair maiden"

Whoa - I wouldn't think to pronounce it that way. In English words the final "e" is generally silent (and frequently elongates the prior vowel). I would have guessed the "cothe" part would rhyme with "oath".
 
Cismackinac and Transmackinac come to my mind as descriptions for the peninsulas themselves given their relative positions to the Straits of Mackinac.

Likewise on a Masonian plan of three mega-states, I would imagine "Peninsular Ohio", etc. would be used?

Well, the Lower Peninsula would be split almost equally between Ohio and Indiana. I'm curious if anyone thinks that both or either peninsula may not even be given a name... how many peninsulas are made from that many lakes, straights, and rivers? For the Lower Peninusla there are 4 lakes, a straight, and two rivers; UP is two lakes and two straights.
 
I just wanted something I could pronounce! (Note: I live in Oklahoma, Native America!) And I wanted South for the Northern peninsula.
 
South Ontario for the Upper and East Wisconsin for the Lower? (I know, I know, but it has the virtue of being different.)

Were the names "Ontario" and "Wisconsin" themselves in use for territories at this time? There was Lake Ontario, but it doesn't border the Michigan peninsulas.

They'd have names - they are too prominent on a map of North America not to.

I mean really Lakes Huron and Michigan are one lake if we want to be technical (otherwise the UP would have three lakes :p). And there are other examples of peninsulas surrounded by multiple bodies of water - Anatolian and Balkan peninsulas, frex, though Michigan still stands out and you may be right that without the need to build a state identity, it could easily be overlooked.
