1943 Map of South Haven
USGS Topo · Published 1943About this map
The coastal town of South Haven serves as the focal point of this 1943 War Department survey, showing the shoreline of Lake Michigan during the height of the Second World War. The map details a landscape transitioning from a busy port and rail hub to a burgeoning destination for summer recreation. Parallel rail lines, the Pere Marquette and Mich Cent, cut through the terrain, supporting the region's agricultural and industrial base. Along the coast, a string of seasonal communities and retreats like Miami Park Beach, Palisades Park, and Indian Grove line the bluffs, while Van Buren State Park protects a significant stretch of the lakefront.
