1970 Map of New Buffalo West

About this map

Lake Michigan dominates the western half of this coastal survey, where the Michigan-Indiana state line divides a series of shoreline communities. The area is characterized by its residential and resort development, stretching from Long Beach and Michiana Shores up to the harbor at New Buffalo. Transportation is a defining feature of the landscape, with the Penn Central and Chesapeake and Ohio railroads cutting through the sandy terrain alongside established routes like Central Road and Shedd Road.
