2011 Map of South Haven

About this map

Lake Michigan dominates the western half of this coastal survey, where the Black River carves a deep inlet into the shoreline at South Haven. This maritime geography defines the local economy and layout, evidenced by the concentration of harbor infrastructure such as the South Haven Municipal Marina, Pothole Marina, and the dual beacons of the North Pier Light and South Pier Light. The residential and recreational patterns follow the coast, stretching from the northern enclave of Miami Park down to Indian Grove. Genealogical and local history interest is anchored by the presence of Lake View Cemetery and the Hebrew Cemetery on the eastern edge of the settlement. The map also traces the transition of former infrastructure into modern use, notably the Van Buren Trl, while showing established local institutions like the South Haven Post Office.
