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.

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
