1982 Map of Good Hart

About this map

Lake Michigan shapes the western edge of this coastal landscape in Emmet County, where the high bluffs of Island View Hill overlook a network of rural settlements. The map illustrates a distinctive pattern of development along the lakeshore, anchored by the community of Good Hart and the historic Middle Village, also known as Good Hart Middle Ch. Away from the shoreline, the terrain transitions into the dense cover of the Mackinaw State Forest, which dominates the eastern half of the survey area. Small crossroads such as Johnsons Corners, Beckons Corners, and Ryans Corners mark the intersections of the township's rural grid, while the presence of the Island View Cem and Township Cem provide essential data points for local genealogists tracing family roots in Readmond and Friendship townships.
