2012 Map of Ferry

About this map

The settlement of Ferry serves as the focal point for this Oceana County landscape, situated where the N Br White River winds through a network of rural roads and woodlots. This 2012 survey captures the area's transition into a recreational and residential corridor, evidenced by the presence of Camp Keewana and Camp Manistee near the riverbanks. The local genealogy is well-represented through three distinct burial sites: Ferry Cem, Otto Cem, and Woodward Cem, each marking historical family and community hubs. Notable landmarks like the Ferry Lookout Tower overlook a terrain defined by glacial hydrology, including Landin Lake, Gillon Lake, and several creeks such as Robinson Cr and Osborn Cr. The mapping of long-standing routes like Arthur Rd and Loop Rd provides a clear view of how these remote townships remain connected to the broader Michigan countryside.
