About this map

The western shoreline of Lake Michigan defines this coastal region, where a string of beach communities like Rosabelle Beach, Ventura Beach, and Tennessee Beach sit atop the dunes. The landscape is dominated by the transition from the Great Lake into Lake Macatawa, which provides sheltered water for Big Bay, Macatawa Bay, and Pine Creek Bay. Settlement patterns are dense near the city of Holland, transitioning to the planned grid of Beechwood and the small crossroads at Tasmas Corners.

Transport and infrastructure are central to the area's mid-2010s character, featuring the Park Township Airport and a network of named corridors including Ottawa Beach Rd and New Holland St. For local historians and genealogists, the map identifies several burial grounds such as Ventura Cem, Shore Cem, and the Graafschap Cem near the southern boundary with Allegan Co. The survey details the intricate drainage and creek systems, including Harlem Drain and Ten Hagen Cr, which feed the coastal wetlands.
