1936 Map of Lake Harbor

USGS Topo · Published 1950

About this map

Muskegon Lake and the eastern shore of Lake Michigan define this 1930s coastal landscape, where the industrial growth of Muskegon and Muskegon Heights meets the recreational character of the shoreline. The map captures a transition as the area developed around the natural harbors of Mona Lake and Little Black Lake, with the P M Ry and G T Ry providing essential rail connections to the lakeside industries. Beyond the urban centers, smaller settlements like Port Sherman and Indian Village appear alongside early civic landmarks such as Maple Grove Sch and Bronson Park. The terrain is marked by significant dunes and landmarks like Pigeon Hill, emphasizing the geographic barriers that shaped early road planning, including the winding Scenic Drive that follows the lakefront.
