2017 Map of Bridgman OE W

About this map

Lake Michigan dominates the majority of this coastal survey, with the land area confined to the southeastern corner. This narrow strip of shoreline in Berrien County captures the cluster of residential communities south of Bridgman. The map documents the localized density of Shorewood-Tower Hills-Harbert, a contiguous stretch of lakeside settlements that developed as vacation and residential hubs. The transition from the vast open waters of the lake to the structured blocks of Birchwood and Hazelhurst reflects the region's long-standing draw for those seeking proximity to the Great Lakes. While primarily focused on these established residential zones, the map also provides clear administrative context through township and range boundaries, including t7s r20w and t6s r20w, which frame the development patterns along the coast.
