It was made a state park in 1988. The railroad parallels much of the West Michigan Pike route but is most visible between Whitehall and Shelby. New Era New Era was found in 1878 by a group of Dutch that had been living in Montague serving as mill hands. They wanted to return to an agrarian lifestyle and purchased farms and planted peach orchards. In 1947, there were eighty-five Dutch families in New Era. 4856 Oceana, New Era New Era Canning Company The New Era Canning Company was established in 1910 by Edward P. Ray, a Norwegian immigrant who purchased a fruit farm in New Era. Ray grew raspberries, a delicate fruit that is difficult to transport in hot weather. Today, the plant is still owned by the Ray family and processes green beans, apples, and asparagus.

Experimentation, testing and the development of standards for cement and additives in the late 19th century, led to the use of concrete a strong reliable building material after the turn of the century. Concrete was also considered to be fireproof, an important consideration as many communities suffered devastating fires that burned blocks of their wooden buildings Oceana County Historic Resource Survey 200 in the late nineteenth century.

  • Geology of Michigan and the Great Lakes
    35133_Geo_Michigan_Cover.qxd 11/13/07 10:26 AM Page 1 “The Geology of Michigan and the Great Lakes” is written to augment any introductory earth science, environmental geology, geologic, or geographic course offering, and is designed to introduce students in Michigan and the Great Lakes to important regional geologic concepts and events. Although Michigan’s geologic past spans the Precambrian through the Holocene, much of the rock record, Pennsylvanian through Pliocene, is miss- ing. Glacial events during the Pleistocene removed these rocks. However, these same glacial events left behind a rich legacy of surficial deposits, various landscape features, lakes, and rivers. Michigan is one of the most scenic states in the nation, providing numerous recre- ational opportunities to inhabitants and visitors alike. Geology of the region has also played an important, and often controlling, role in the pattern of settlement and ongoing economic development of the state. Vital resources such as iron ore, copper, gypsum, salt, oil, and gas have greatly contributed to Michigan’s growth and industrial might. Ample supplies of high-quality water support a vibrant population and strong industrial base throughout the Great Lakes region. These water supplies are now becoming increasingly important in light of modern economic growth and population demands. This text introduces the student to the geology of Michigan and the Great Lakes region. It begins with the Precambrian basement terrains as they relate to plate tectonic events. It describes Paleozoic clastic and carbonate rocks, restricted basin salts, and Niagaran pinnacle reefs. Quaternary glacial events and the development of today’s modern landscapes are also discussed.

  • LAKE MICHIGAN Beach GUIDE
    LAKE MICHIGAN beach GUIDE Pictured: Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore LAKE MICHIGAN beach GUIDE THE GREAT LAKES (AND BEACHES) STATE Michigan is home to some of the most incredible, unique landscapes that are rare to find all in one state. There aren’t many states you can name off the top of your head that are home to several thriving cities, forests, rolling hills, waterfalls, farmland, and our favorite—fresh water beaches. We may be a bit biased to the Great Lakes (Lake Michigan in particular) as a brand marketing company located in Grand Rapids, but we believe that Michigan’s western coast is by far one of the best features of our state, and even the country. TO PROTECT AND TO TAP OUR CREATIVITY As a certified B Corporation, TIS is a group of creatives with a triple-bottom-line mentality (people, planet, profit)—so Lake Michigan is especially important to us. First and foremost, the lakes and dunes are one of our most significant natural resources in Michigan, and we are dedicated to protecting these natural landscapes by treating them with respect and care. Just as important, the lake is a place we retreat when we need to recharge, to seek inspiration, to reflect, to tap into our creativity, and to simply relax and let go. Lake Michigan beaches are the most picturesque spots to do so. PUTTING THE FOCUS ON THE BEACHES Because we’re so partial to Lake Michigan, we wanted to spread the love and appreciation by creating this beach guide for you to use time and time again.
