About this map

Lake Michigan forms the western boundary of this coastal survey, where massive sand formations like Great Warren Dune and Mount Edward rise above the shoreline. The settlement pattern follows the lake's edge and the inland rail and highway corridors, connecting the town of Bridgman with smaller communities such as Sawyer and New Troy. Local infrastructure includes aviation markers like Myers Airport and Del Hickcox Airport, alongside recreational spaces like the Lost Dunes Golf Course and Weko Beach Campground.

Genealogists will find several burial sites documented throughout the interior, including Graceland Cemetery, Greenwood Cemetery, and the California School Cemetery. The landscape is drained by small waterways such as Keelo Creek and Kirktown Creek, which flow toward the lake. This edition provides a clear record of the area's development before more recent shoreline shifts, documenting the location of civic anchors like the Bridgman Post Office and Sawyer Post Office.
