2011 Map of Flower Creek

About this map

The eastern shoreline of Lake Michigan defines this coastal landscape, where the waters of Flower Creek and its tributaries carve paths through the Lake Michigan dunes and agricultural lands. Near the southern edge, White Lake opens into the larger lake at Indian Bay, a transition point marked by the North Pier Light and the operations of Grover Fisheries. The area's settlement history is preserved in several rural burial grounds, including the Flower Creek Cemetery and Hubbard Cemetery, reflecting the lineage of families who established farms along the grid of local roads such as W Roosevelt Rd and S 48th Ave. Recreational sites like the Pines Campground and Old Channel Trail Golf Course suggest a landscape balancing traditional industry with lakeside tourism. Further south, the map details the terrain around Indian Point and Dowies Point, providing a precise record of the shoreline's contours and the drainage network of the Pierson Drain as they existed in the early 21st century.
