2011 Map of Good Hart

About this map

Good Hart sits prominently along the Lake Michigan shoreline, anchoring a landscape defined by the winding coastal path of Lake Shore Dr. The area's spiritual and social history is deeply rooted in sites like Saint Ignatius' Catholic Church and the nearby Middle Village, reflecting a long-standing settlement pattern on these lakeside bluffs. Moving inland, the terrain rises toward Island View Hill and transitions into a grid of rural crossroads such as Johnsons Corners and Beckons Corners. The high density of local burial grounds, including Readmond Township Cemetery and Friendship Township Cemetery, provides a rich resource for genealogical research. Distinctive geographical features like Devils Elbow and Horseshoe Bend mark the sharp curves in the coastal road, illustrating the challenges of navigating this varied shoreline elevation.
