Shorewood Subdivision and Sewage Plan
Map
Blue print map of Shorewood subdivision with additional sewage disposal plan. The large, folded blueprint shows the Lake Michigan shoreline (the Beach Park), streets, lots with locations of cottages indicated, garden courts, an athletic field, orchards, the location of Forward Movement Park and inset maps of distances from Chicago and the Saugatuck Harbor.
The smaller (14x18") supplement has a diagram and explanation of how the cottages will dispose of sewage.

Shorewood may be Saugatuck's first subdivision, built just when midwesterners (especially from Oak Park) were discovering Saugatuck as a resort destination.

Although deeply creased from folding and a few tears, the blueprint is holding up well. The accessory sewage plan has faded to a purple tone but is still readable.
