About this map

The Big S Br Pere Marquette River winds through the heart of the Manistee National Forest, defining the landscape at the junction of Mason, Lake, Oceana, and Newaygo Counties. This area, largely preserved as public forest land, maintains the character of a woodland frontier interspersed with small cemeteries and isolated water bodies. The Carr Settlement sits in the northeast corner near Gillen Springs, while the southern reaches are marked by the waters of School Section Lake and Allen Cr.

Cultural history is preserved at rural burial sites like McCumber Cem and Colfax Cem, which remain as fixed points amidst the shifting forest canopy. Local drainage patterns are influenced by numerous smaller basins such as Tuckett Lake, Augustine Lake, and the wetlands of Darkeys Marsh. The presence of specialized recreational trails, including the Mccct - BWC, underscores the modern transition of these timberlands into a hub for outdoor navigation.
