1936 Map of Lake Harbor

USGS Topo · Published 1936

About this map

The industrialized shoreline of Lake Michigan comes into sharp focus during the early 1930s, defined by the major ports and rail hubs of Muskegon and Muskegon Heights. This survey by Daniel Kennedy documents the dense urban grid between Muskegon Lake and Mona Lake, where the P M RY and G T RY railroads supported the region's shipping and manufacturing economy. Along the coast, the topography transitions from the residential streets of Lakeside and Interlaken to the preserved dunes of Muskegon State Park and Pere Marquette Park. Local landmarks like Pigeon Hill and the winding Scenic Drive illustrate the coastal character of the era, while inland labels such as Maple Grove Sch and School No 4 provide essential reference points for genealogists and local historians tracking the growth of Laketon and Norton townships.
