About this map

South Haven serves as the focal point of this coastal survey, where the Black River meets Lake Michigan at South Haven Harbor. The town's grid is meticulously detailed, extending from historical corridors like Michigan Ave and Dyckman Ave to the neighborhood of Indian Grove further south. This map illustrates the transition from a traditional lakeside port and resort town to a modern recreational destination, with several public lakefront areas such as Dyckman Beach, North Beach, and Woodman Beach lining the shore.

Local history and genealogy researchers will find significant value in the mapped cemeteries located just north of the city center, specifically Lake View Cemetery and Hebrew Cemetery. To the north, the residential developments of Miami Park and South Haven Highlands appear along the bluff, while the southern reach of the map features the Van Buren Trail State Park Trail, following a former rail alignment that once helped drive the region's economy.
