1970 Map of New Buffalo West

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Lake Michigan dominates the western half of this 1970s survey, meeting a shoreline defined by a string of coastal communities and resort developments. The state line bisecting the map separates New Buffalo in Michigan from the lakeside enclaves of Michiana Shores and Duneland Beach in Indiana. Transportation and infrastructure are concentrated along the coast, where the Penn Central railroad tracks run parallel to Lake Shore Drive. Local history is captured through the presence of the St Mary of the Lake Sch and Pine Grove Cem, alongside civic markers like the Waterworks and a highway Weigh Station. The transition from the sandy shore to the interior of Springfield township reveals a shift toward smaller local roads like Stromer Road and White Drive, reflecting the area's development patterns during the early 1970s.
