About this map

The coastal landscape of Lincoln Township is dominated by the shifting sands and blue expanse of Lake Michigan, which shapes the residential and industrial patterns of the early 1970s. The village of Stevensville serves as a central hub, anchored by the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad corridor and the nearby Interstate 94. This era shows a community in transition, balancing established agricultural tracts with modern suburban landmarks like the Drive-in Theater and the growing campus of Lake Shore Sch.

Natural features provide a stark contrast to the inland development, particularly the Grand Mere Lakes complex nestled behind the shoreline dunes. These water bodies, along with Township Park and North Lake Park, highlight the region's recreational value. Moving north toward Shoreham and the edge of St Joseph, the map traces the winding path of Hickory Creek as it cuts through the undulating terrain of Lincoln.
