About this map

Holton serves as a central hub for this portion of the Manistee National Forest, where the western Michigan landscape is defined by the headwaters of Cushman Creek and Cedar Creek. Compiled from 1981 data, this record captures the rural character of the region as it spans the borders of Oceana, Muskegon, and Newaygo counties. Local history is anchored by several long-standing community landmarks, including St Micheals Ch in the settlement of Brunswick and the quiet grounds of Holton Cem.

A network of section-line roads like Mc Kinley Road and Skeels Road grid the terrain, connecting small rural centers such as Reeman and Sitka. The presence of numerous small water bodies, including Horseshoe Lake, Acker Lake, and Unger Lake, highlights the glacial geography of the area. This map provides genealogists and researchers with a clear view of the late 20th-century residential and agricultural distribution before modern development further altered these township boundaries.
