About this map

Ferry stands as the central settlement in this portion of Oceana County, situated along the north-south corridor of S 132nd Ave. The landscape is defined by the winding paths of the N Br White River and S Br White River, which drain a complex network of wetlands including Knox Swamp and Midway Swamp. Much of the eastern and southern portions of the map fall within the Manistee National Forest, indicating a terrain heavily influenced by federal land management and conservation.

Local history is anchored by the Ferry Township South Cem and Woodward Cem, providing essential points of reference for genealogical research. Small water bodies like Blackmer Lake, Landin Lake, and Gillon Lake are scattered throughout the township, connected by creeks such as Knutson Cr and Osborn Cr. The road network, including E Garfield Rd and Arthur Rd, follows the classic Public Land Survey System grid, typical of Michigan's rural development.
