About this map

The Muskegon River and Hersey River converge near the settlement of Hersey, defining a landscape where waterway corridors and former rail routes dictate the local geography. This survey documents the intersection of modern recreational paths like the Pere Marquette State Trl and the Fred Meijer White Pine Trail State Park Trl with long-standing rural community centers. To the north, Reed City serves as a primary hub, while the southern reaches are marked by the scattered homesteads around Grant Center.

Genealogists will find a concentration of historic burial sites throughout the township, including Grant Center Number One Cem, Grant Center Number Two Cem, Oakdale Cem, and Crapo Cem. The terrain is punctuated by numerous glacial water bodies such as Elm Lake, Bevens Lake, and the extensive Featherbed Marsh in the southeast. The survey also captures a network of rural roads, such as Reynolds Rd and Hoover Rd, that provide access to the various shorelines and wetlands of Osceola Co and Mecosta Co.
