About this map

The Muskegon River winds through the northwest corner of this 1980s landscape, bordering the Pere Marquette State Forest as it transitions from Hersey into Evart. The region is defined by a dense network of water bodies, from the expansive Chippewa Lake in the south to the developed shoreline of Lake Miramichi. These lakes are joined by smaller basins like Saddlebag Lake, Pogy Lake, and the complex Haymarsh Lakes system within the Haymarsh Lake State Game Area.

Evidence of early rural settlement is preserved through family-named landmarks and historical burial grounds, including the Pioneer Cem and South Evart Cem. The grid of section-line roads, such as Fourmile Road and Twenty Mile Road, highlights a landscape balanced between timber conservation, agricultural tracts, and seasonal recreation. Notable geological and industrial markers include the Featherbed Marsh and a Gravel Pit located near the Osceola and Mecosta county line.
