1932 Map of Ludington SE

About this map

The boundary between Riverton and Weare townships defines this 1932 field examination, where the landscape transitions from the marshy lowlands of the Pentwater Creek basin to the upland lake country. The area is marked by a dense network of early 20th-century rural infrastructure, including a series of small school districts such as Wiley Sch, Morton Sch, and Maple Grove Sch. Settlement patterns are concentrated at rural crossroads like Bucks Corner and Smiths Corner, serving the surrounding agricultural community. Significant water features include the connected North Oxbow Lake and South Oxbow Lake, alongside the prominent St Marys Lake. This survey, compiled from early Air Corps aerial photography, captures the precise locations of community anchors like the Town Hall and Bethel Ch before modern road realignments changed the character of these interior settlements.
