About this map

Lake Michigan dominates the western edge of this coastal landscape, where the shifting sands meet the developed shoreline of Van Buren County. The terrain transitions from the dunes at Thunder Mtn and the marshes of Dyckman Swamp to the organized agricultural and residential grids further inland. Coastal communities like Palisades Park, Crystal Beach, and Linden Hills highlight the area's long-standing appeal for seasonal and permanent residency along the lake.

Further east, the settlement of Covert sits at a crossroads of local infrastructure, connected to the north by the linear corridor of Van Buren Trail State Park. The map documents several local burial grounds, including Covert Cem and Fish Cem, which provide essential points of reference for genealogical research. The presence of the South Haven Area Regional Airport and the Blue Star Hwy illustrates the modern transport network that replaced earlier pioneer trails and rural bypasses.
