About this map

The coastal village of Pentwater sits at the junction of Lake Michigan and the sheltered Pentwater Lake, serving as a vital focal point for maritime and rail activity in the early 1930s. The Pere Marquette railroad line terminates along the southern shore of the lake, underscoring the era's reliance on both shipping and rail transport. Inland, the landscape is defined by the winding Pentwater River and the rural school system, with nodes like Fairview Sch, Nickerson Sch, and Star Valley Sch serving the local farming and timber families. Further north, the recreation potential of the shoreline is evident at Bass Lake Park near Bass Lake, where the U S Highway No 31 corridor provides a primary north-south artery through the county. The map also records the boundary between Mason and Oceana Counties, marking the transition between these two prominent West Michigan regions.
