1930 Map of Benton Harbor
USGS Topo · Published 1930About this map
Benton Harbor and St Joseph anchor this coastal landscape where the St Joseph River meets Lake Michigan. The era is defined by a dense network of steam and electric rail lines, including the Pere Marquette and Cleveland Cincinnati Chicago and St Louis, supporting a thriving fruit-growing region. Notable local landmarks like the House of David and the Fish Hatchery near Millburg Lake appear alongside numerous rural schoolhouses, such as Martindale Sch and Boynton Sch. To the north, Paw Paw Lake serves as a significant recreational hub, bordered by the settlements of Coloma and Watervliet. The inland terrain is marked by crossroads communities like Twelve Corners and Shanghai Corners, illustrating the historical development of Berrien County's interior before modern highway expansion.
