1930 Map of Benton Harbor
USGS Topo · Published 1946About this map
St Joseph and Benton Harbor anchor this Lake Michigan coastal landscape as it appeared in the late 1920s, showing a complex network of lakefront tourism, industrial rail, and agricultural hinterlands. The shoreline is characterized by recreational hubs like Silver Beach and Higman Park, while the inland topography is defined by the winding courses of the Pawpaw River and St Joseph River. A notable cultural landmark is the House of David, located just east of the main city grid. The map records a dense collection of rural educational sites, such as Martindale Sch and Boynton Sch, and specialized facilities including a Fish Hatchery near Milburg. Transportation is a primary theme, with the Pere Marquette and Michigan Central railroads intersecting the region alongside an Electric RR line and the Blue Star Memorial Highway.
