Archive
This series contains maps of the Saugatuck-Douglas area, both historic and modern. Box 2 is made up of the historic maps of Saugatuck, Singapore, Manlius and Douglas from as early as 1864 up tinil 1910. These maps are plats of the towns, Sanborn fire maps, or street maps which detail the towns. None of these are the originals and are photocopies that Lorenz made from other sources. There are several maps that he created himself, using those photocopies as his reference. His maps are either hand-drawn or copy and pasted from other sources. In Box 15, there are modern maps of Michigan that Lorenz collected. These maps are originals that he collected and detail the entire state, but do include Saugatuck and date up until 1976. 1 box- Early maps of Saugatuck, Singapore, Douglas, Manlius 1 folder- maps of modern Michigan

There is little deterioration to these maps. The photocopies and orginal maps do show some fading in color and lettering, but not enought to make them illegible.
