2012 Map of Big Blue Lake

About this map

The White River and its multiple branches, including the N Br White River and S Br White River, define the northern drainage of this Muskegon County landscape. Centered around the prominent Big Blue Lake, the region is a hub for mid-century recreational history, featuring several organized camps such as Camp Pendalouah, Camp Emery, and Camp Hardy. The map reveals a dense concentration of smaller kettle lakes, including Cleveland Lake, Mayo Lake, and Ergang Lake, many of which remained undeveloped or served by primitive roads like Holton Whitehall Rd. Local history and genealogy interest is anchored by the Blue Lake Cem and Wave Cem, while access to the waterways is noted at the Sischo Canoe Landing and Diamond Access Canoe Landing, reflecting the area's long-standing reliance on the river system for recreation and travel.
