About this map

Custer serves as the primary settlement hub in this 1931 survey of Mason County, positioned at the junction of the Pere Marquette railroad and Highway No 10. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the Pere Marquette River and its South Branch, which cut through a mosaic of woodlots and marshes. This era of rural Michigan life is heavily documented through its network of district schools, including Minega Sch, McClellan Sch, and Jenks Sch, reflecting a time when education was strictly localized within walking distance for farming families. The map also highlights numerous small water bodies such as Allen Lake, Bailey Lake, and Saunders Lake, alongside the distinct boundaries of townships like Sheridan, Custer, and Logan.
