2017 Map of Dalton

About this map

The eastern shoreline of Lake Michigan and the northern outskirts of North Muskegon define this coastal landscape. Near the southern edge of the sheet, Bear Lake and the northern reaches of Muskegon Lake create a complex geography of inlets and developed neighborhoods. This 2017 survey details a network of residential and rural transitions, particularly around the village of Lakewood Club and the crossroads at Dalton. The landscape is etched by small waterways like Todd Cr, Scholes Cr, and Birch Brook which flow westward toward the Great Lake. Transportation history is evident in the Fred Meijer Berry Junction Trail, which follows an old rail alignment through Berry Junction. Genealogists will find several local burial grounds, including Fruitland Cem, Laketon Cem, and Bear Lake Cem, situated between the inland lakes and the coastal bluffs.
