Interactive Google Map

Stakeholders in the Saugatuck River Watershed have a new tool for sharing site-specific information: a newly created Google map that can be annotated with text, points, and polygons to indicate existing and proposed project sites as well as known problem areas.




The map currently contains the watershed boundary and the proposed projects included in the most recent draft of the Plan. To annotate these points or to add new features to the map, follow these simple steps:
  • Use this link to edit the map
  • Sign in at the top right of the page using the generic Gmail address provided by SWRPA (if you are already signed into Google using a personal Gmail account, you will need to log out first)
  • The map will reload automatically, this time with an “edit” button on the left near the map title
  • Three symbols will appear near the main map navigation: a hand (pan), and point (draw point) and a line (draw polygon)—use these symbols to draw new features and to move features you’ve already drawn
  • Click on any feature to add a title to a new feature, or to add comments/description to one of the features proposed in the current draft of the Plan
