About this map

Ferry serves as the focal point for this section of Oceana County, situated along a bend of the North Branch White River. The landscape is a complex mosaic of wetlands and water bodies, including Knox Swamp to the northwest and Lidkey Swamp to the southwest. For genealogists and local historians, the presence of the Ferry Township South Cem and the more easterly Woodward Cem provides specific points for family research.

Large portions of the eastern and southern terrain are integrated into the Manistee National Forest, where smaller waterways like Sand Creek and Knutson Creek feed into the river system. The map also identifies the localized area of Otto-Gem and various named lakes such as Landin Lake and Gillon Lake, illustrating the distribution of seasonal and permanent settlements within this wooded region of West Michigan.
