2023 Map of Carr

About this map

The Big South Branch Pere Marquette River winds through the heart of this rural landscape, which is situated at the meeting point of Mason, Lake, Oceana, and Newaygo counties. This recent survey shows a region deeply intertwined with the Manistee National Forest, where small water bodies like Augustine Lake and Tuckett Lake are scattered among the woodland. For genealogists, the map identifies several significant local landmarks, including St Gregory's Catholic Ch and its associated St Gregory's Catholic Cem near the northern boundary. Centrally located burial grounds such as McCumber Cem and Colfax Cem further document the area's established history. The drainage network is complex, featuring Carr Creek, Ruby Creek, and Woody Creek, all feeding into the larger river system that defines the local geography. Significant clearings and family-named springs like Gillen Springs break the forested cover, while School Section Lake stands as a prominent natural feature in the southwest.
