About this map

The Manistee National Forest covers much of this Michigan landscape, where the northern edge of Oceana County meets Mason County. The small settlement of Crystal Valley serves as a local hub near the southern border, while the hamlet of Fern sits further north along Custer Rd. The terrain is defined by a dense network of water bodies and drainage systems, including the W Br Pentwater River, Whiskey Cr, and Crystal Cr.

Genealogists will find the Eden Cem and Mount Malissa Cem near the prominent landmark of Mount Malissa. The map reveals a transition from the agricultural grid of roads like E Anthony Rd to the more winding forest tracks and recreational paths such as the Crystal Valley Ski Trail Loop 1 (Snow). Numerous small lakes, including Eden Lake, Ordway Lake, and Gilligan Lake, dot the glacial topography of the region.
