About this map

The Kalamazoo River meets Lake Michigan in this detailed survey of the western Michigan coastline. The twin communities of Saugatuck and Douglas are central to the map, showing the dense street grids and the bridge crossing near Tyler Bayou. Historical continuity is evident in the multiple burial grounds, including Riverside Cem and Douglas Cem, which serve as valuable landmarks for local researchers.

North along the shore, the landscape transitions into the preserved terrain of Saugatuck Dunes State Park, characterized by prominent elevations like Pelican Peak and Mt Baldhead. Residential enclaves such as Castle Park and Beachmont follow the shoreline, while the interior is marked by drainage systems like Kelly Lake Drain and Goshorn Cr. The presence of Old Interurban Dr provides a quiet nod to earlier transportation corridors that once linked these lakeside settlements.
