About this map

The Muskegon River meanders through the heart of this Newaygo County landscape, its course interrupted by the significant reservoir of the Croton Dam Pond. This 2014 survey documents the hydrographic complexity of the region, where the river meets Hardy Dam Pond and branches into numerous creeks like Bigelow Cr and Cold Cr. The settlement patterns around Croton, Croton Heights, and Riverview are clearly defined, showing residential growth near the water's edge.

Large portions of the Manistee National Forest dominate the southern and central sections, punctuated by recreational pathways like the N Country National Scenic Trail. Local genealogy is well-served by the inclusion of several burying grounds, including Saint Mary's Catholic Cem, Croton Cem, and Oak Grove Cem. Smaller water bodies such as Bills Lake and Pettit Lake dot the southern terrain, illustrating the glacial character of the Michigan interior.
