2019 Map of Hart

About this map

The Oceana County Building anchors the city of Hart, situated along the eastern shore of Hart Lake. This 2019 survey documents a landscape defined by the drainage of the S Br Pentwater River and several of its tributaries, including Donaldson Cr, Huitt Cr, and Hodges Cr. The map reveals a high concentration of cemeteries distributed throughout the rural townships, suggesting decades of localized settlement patterns. From the Mount Calvary Cem in the north near Weare to the Oceana Center Cem in the southeast, these sites serve as significant markers for genealogical research in Oceana County. The presence of the Oceana County Airport and the village of Shelby to the south illustrates the modern infrastructure integrated into this agricultural and wooded terrain, while features like Knox Swamp and Gales Pond highlight the persistent natural wetlands of the region.
