About this map

The settlement of Ferry serves as a focal point in this portion of Oceana County, situated where the N Br White River winds through the landscape. Much of the surrounding area is defined by the Manistee National Forest, creating a mosaic of public and private lands marked by numerous small water bodies such as Landin Lake, Gillon Lake, and Blackmer Lake. This 2014 survey documents the enduring rural character of the township, where the drainage networks of Knutson Cr and Bear Cr feed into the larger river systems.

Local history is anchored by several burial grounds, including Ferry Cem, Otto Cem, and Woodward Cem, which provide valuable location data for genealogists. The map details a grid of township roads like S 132nd Ave and E Garfield Rd that navigate the varied terrain of the S Branch White River valley, illustrating the intersection of residential settlement and managed wilderness during the early 21st century.
