1922 Plat Map list of Cottagers & Property Owners West Shore - Lake MaxinkuckeeThis is probably an incomplete listing probably of cottage lots and owners - but this is what was listed on the plat map of 1922 and what I am able to decipher of it. I hope to connect everything from the 1876 plat map forward but that will take time and much more research - in hopes of making an accurate history and genealogy of the lake and along the way gathering pictures, maps, stories, myths, legends, biographies, obitauries etc. to enhance it. None of these listings are eteched in stone - it is probably just a pratial listing from sources during this time period - and based on known facts of 1922, on the plat map - everything may change if I can ever get the use of some of the abstracts or cottagers step forth with corrected data. I will try and carry this data forward to each of the plat maps if I can connect from this one to the next. Hopefully from deeds, abstracts and future research we can list the complete property owners at this time.  1876 Plat Map shows no land owners listed for the west side lake area. reading south to North 1836/7 - James F.

Green 83.47A [James Green ]- Green Genealogy When he first came to the west shore of Lake Maxinkuckee where Long Point is located, there was no one established there. He bought all the land between Maxinkuckee and the little lake, including all of Long Point, the gravel pit property and adjacent acreage. - - The original Green homestead is still standing to this day, but not on its first site. It is now on the rise of the ground between the two lakes. The house originally stood close to the lake where the railroad right-of-way is now. We are told that the railroad came through in such a hurry, moving northward to terminate as while at Marmont Station that construction work had reached the house before the movers could get it moved. In fact, the tracks came pretty close to being laid right under the house, which was hurriedly moved out of the way and back on the hill where it now stands, today untenanted. - - When James Green settled at the southern base of Long Point and for a considerable period thereafter, he did not anticipate that his waterfront property would at some future date be in such demand by prospective summer cottagers as to command rich prices. So it was that, before the great in rush of the "lake people", he without ado and complacently thinking his deals successful sold good-sized lots to folks for about fifty dollars apeice. Some he almost gave away. His son got one for doing some extra chores. It was not so many years later that those self same "cheap" lots were in great demand for prices ranging into the thousands. - - On Long Point in the 'seventies, James Green had twenty acres of land left, and between the two lakes 83.47 acres. - One Townships Yesteryears1836/7 - James F.
