1972 Map of Muskegon West

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

The industrial and maritime core of Muskegon and Muskegon Heights is shown here during the early 1970s, revealing a landscape defined by its proximity to Lake Michigan. Rail networks including the Chesapeake and Ohio RR and Grand Trunk Western RR serve the heavy industrial zones near the waterfront, while the residential expansion of Roosevelt Park and Norton Shores pushes inland. The map details a sophisticated coastal infrastructure ranging from the Naval Reserve Station and Coast Guard Sta near the entrance to Lake Muskegon to the southern Muskegon County Airport. Large recreational and preservation areas like P J Hoffmaster State Park and Muskegon State Park anchor the shoreline, protecting high coastal dunes like Pigeon Hill and natural landmarks such as Devils Kitchen.
