Ox Bow Bend showing location of Artist Colony
Map
Scan of an artistic map by the Graham and Morton line showing the attractions along the Kalamazoo River. A banner at the top of the map labels a "G & M Line Steamer direct from Chicago to Saugatuck" entering the new harbor channel. "The Buried Town of Singapore" label is in the wrong location. It should be on the north side of the new channel. Other sites listed include mouth of river in former days, old course of river traffic, old light house, wild moorland, sunset point, wild rice, cat tails, pond lilies, temple, camp ground, Oxbow Inn, 200 acres of virgin forest with interesting old Indian trails, to farm lands and famous orchards of Michigan, more virgin forest, Oxbow Road, picturesque shacks, Interurban road [railroad] to Holland and Grand Rapids, historic village of Saugatuck, old chain ferry, to Douglas and Indian Settlement, G and M dock and Mt. Baldhead.

Graham & Morton Transportation Co. terminal was located in Saugatuck from c1912 to 1925 so likely this charming map was from that period.
