2019 Map of Sullivan

About this map

Sullivan and the surrounding township appear as a patchwork of wetlands and rural residential development in this 2019 survey of Muskegon County. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of water management features, including the Muskegon-Newaygo Drain, Sanford Drain, and Lawrence Drain, which channel water toward natural tributaries like Norris Cr and Crockery Creek. This sophisticated drainage system highlights the transition from natural wetlands to agricultural and residential use. For genealogists and local historians, the map documents significant community landmarks such as the Sullivan Township Cem and Egelston Township Cem. The northern portion of the sheet shows the expanding neighborhood around Wolf Lake, while the smaller settlement of Updyke remains centered on the Muskegon State Trail, illustrating the contemporary mix of recreation and historic rural living in the region.
