1972 Map of Sullivan

About this map

Wolf Lake and the rural crossroads of Sullivan anchor this early 1970s topographical record of eastern Muskegon County. The landscape is defined by the headwaters of numerous streams, including Black Creek, Norris Creek, and Cranberry Creek, which drain a mosaic of wooded wetlands and cleared fields. Local education and community life are well-documented through institutions like Oakridge High Sch, Bates Sch, and Jibson Ch. A notable industrial and transportation corridor runs through the center of the sheet, where the Penn Central and Grand Trunk Western railroads parallel Ravenna Road. Significant land-use features include the Landing Field (Abandoned) near Township Hall and numerous sandpits scattered across the township of Fruitport, signaling the area's extractive activity during this era.
