2023 Map of Port Sheldon

About this map

Lake Michigan shapes the western edge of this Ottawa County landscape, where dunes and wetlands define the coastal environment between the settlements of Port Sheldon and Agnew. The map documents a blend of contemporary residential development and significant historical markers, including the Indian Cem, Historic Cem, and the Cobmosay Grave. These sites point to the area’s long human history preceding modern subdivisions. The drainage patterns of the Pigeon River and its tributaries, such as Little Pigeon Creek and Ten Hagen Creek, are clearly traced as they move toward the lake. Recreational landmarks like Mountain Beach and Zwemer Beach highlight the shoreline's enduring appeal, while Spring Bayou provides a distinct inland water feature near the unincorporated community of West Olive.
