1959 Map of Ludington
USGS Topo · Published 1960About this map
Ludington and the surrounding Mason County shoreline appear in 1959 as a hub of maritime, rail, and recreational activity. The city is anchored by the Pere Marquette Lake harbor, where the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad meets the water. To the north, Ludington State Park buffers the coastline between Lake Michigan and Lincoln Lake, while Buttersville and Pentwater sit at strategic inlets further south. The map documents a landscape of transition from the urban grid of the county seat to the fruit-growing and farming interior of townships like Riverton and Eden.
