About this map

Lake Michigan dominates this survey, with the vast majority of the map documenting the open water offshore from Berrien County. Along the extreme southeastern corner, a narrow strip of shoreline reveals the coastal residential patterns of the early twenty-first century. This small land area includes the distinct lakefront communities of Birchwood, Hazelhurst, and the unified designation of Shorewood-Tower Hills-Harbert. These settlements, defined by their proximity to the water, are situated within the survey limits of t7s r20w, providing a precise record of the developed coastline before it transitions into the expansive lake.
