About this map

Lake Michigan dominates the northwestern portion of this coastal survey, where the state line between Michigan and Indiana divides a string of tight-knit shorefront communities. The terrain is defined by the transition from open water to the developed bluffs and lowlands of Berrien and LaPorte counties. In the northern section, New Buffalo serves as a local hub, with Pine Grove Cemetery and a network of residential streets like W Indiana St and W Detroit St set back from the shoreline.

Southward along the coast, the map documents the proximity of Grand Beach, Michiana, and Michiana Shores, where winding roads such as Grand Beach Rd and Lake View Ave follow the contours of the land. Further inland, the landscape shifts toward a more linear rural grid, featuring drainage via White Ditch and long-established corridors like Shedd Rd and Kluver Rd. This 2014 edition provides a clear record of the modern suburban and recreational footprint along this historically significant Great Lakes corridor.
