1931 Map of Manistee SW

About this map

Big Sable Point and the complex shoreline of Hamlin Lake define this coastal landscape as it was documented in 1931. The map illustrates a distinctive transition where the Sable River is met by a Dam, creating the expansive waters of the lake with its numerous branching inlets like North Bayou, Middle Bayou, and Indian Pete Bayou. On the Lake Michigan coast, the Big Sable LH and a nearby Life Saving Station mark the maritime importance of this stretch of shore. Inland, the rural character of Grant and Hamlin townships is visible through small-scale landmarks including the Dewey Sch and Nordhouse Sch, alongside the specialized Bridges Resort. This survey, compiled from early Air Corps aerial photography, provides a clear view of the area's geography before significant modern development altered the woodland and bayou systems near Weimer.
