2019 Map of Port Sheldon

About this map

Port Sheldon sits at the nexus of the Pigeon River and the Lake Michigan shoreline, where the river winds through Spring Bayou before reaching the coast. This Ottawa County landscape is defined by its transition from lakefront beaches like Zwemmer Beach and Mountain Beach to an inland grid of agricultural and residential corridors. Notable for local history and genealogy researchers is the Cobmosay Grave, a significant landmark located west of the 168th Ave corridor. Further north, the settlement of Agnew and the Historic Cemetery near Warner St anchor the rural landscape. The map captures the modern development of West Olive alongside the established natural drainage systems of Little Pigeon Creek and Ten Hagen Cr. The intricate road network, including the diagonal path of W Olive Rd, illustrates how the community has evolved around the area’s original water-bound geography.
