About this map

The county seat of Hart centers this early 1930s survey, situated along the southern shore of Hart Lake. The town's grid is well-defined, featuring the Fair Grounds and a junction of the Pere Marquette railway. The surrounding landscape in townships like Weare, Crystal, and Hart is characterized by a dense network of country schoolhouses, including Cargill Sch, Reed Sch, and Sackrider Sch, reflecting the high concentration of rural families in Oceana County during this era.

The Pentwater River and its tributaries, such as Donaldson Creek and A Branch, wind through the terrain, punctuated by numerous woodlots and farmstead clearings. Transport infrastructure is dominated by U S Highway No 31 and State Highway No 82, while smaller landmarks like St Josephs Ch and Moody Lake provide specific points of interest for local historians and genealogists tracing early twentieth-century property locations.
