1936 Map of Lake Harbor

USGS Topo · Published 1936

About this map

Muskegon Lake serves as the focal point of this coastal survey, where the industrial and residential development of the early 1930s is visible along the eastern shores of Lake Michigan. The map illustrates the expansion of Muskegon and Muskegon Heights, showing the dense grid of streets and the P M Ry and G T Ry rail lines that fueled the region's growth. To the south, the landscape transitions from the urban center toward Lake Harbor and the shores of Mona Lake, where smaller settlements like Indian Village appear. Along the immediate coastline, recreational and navigational landmarks such as Pere Marquette Park, Port Sherman, and the prominent Pigeon Hill highlight the intersection of the city’s maritime utility and its emerging lakefront identity. The presence of rural schoolhouses like Maple Grove Sch and Green Creek Sch No 20 provides a window into the organized townships of Norton and Laketon during this era.
