About this map

Hersey sits at the confluence of the Hersey River and the Muskegon River, serving as a central point in this part of Osceola County. The landscape is defined by the winding paths of these waterways and a high density of small lakes, including Little Blodgett Lake, Hyrnes Lake, and Bevens Lake. Further north, a portion of Reed City is visible, while the southern reaches of the map transitions into Mecosta County near the settlement of Grant Center.

For genealogists and local historians, the map provides a precise layout of several rural burial grounds, such as Bitner Cem, Hersey Cem, and the dual Grant Center Number One Cem and Grant Center Number Two Cem. The presence of several family-named roads like Stones Corner Rd and Tribe Lake Rd alongside historical routes like Old Logging Rd indicates a long history of local land use and community development in this river-valley region.
