1983 Map of Traverse City SE

About this map

The dense grid of Traverse City anchors the southern end of the peninsula, where the waters of Boardman Lake meet the larger arms of the bay. In the early 1980s, the city's role as a regional hub is evident through institutional landmarks like Northwestern Michigan College, the Great Lakes Maritime Academy, and the Osteopathic Hosp. Beyond the urban core, the landscape transitions into the residential and agricultural reaches of the Peninsula, dotted with landmarks such as St Josephs Cem and Peninsula Sch. To the east, the settlement of Acme borders the shoreline near the Pere Marquette State Forest. The map captures a moment of growth where historic sites like Oakwood Cemetery and St Francis Ch sit alongside expanding recreational spaces like Bryant Park and Indian Woods Park, documenting the evolving character of this Grand Traverse Bay community.
