2011 Map of Dalton

About this map

North Muskegon sits at the southern edge of this 2011 survey, situated between the north shore of Muskegon Lake and the smaller Bear Lake. This area of Muskegon County shows a landscape defined by its coastal hydrology and industrial legacies, particularly the Laketon Oil Field located inland. The suburban and rural transition is marked by several cemeteries, including Fruitland Cemetery, Laketon Cemetery, and Bear Lake Cemetery, which provide stable points of reference for genealogists tracking family history in the Fruitland and Laketon townships. To the north, the small settlements of Dalton, Berry Junction, and Lakewood Club are connected by a grid of local roads like Whitehall Rd and Duck Lake Rd. Drainage is managed by several named waterways such as Duck Creek, Green Creek, and Todd Creek which flow toward the Lake Michigan shoreline, including the Birch Brook in the far northwest.
