About this map

The Pere Marquette River meanders across this Mason County landscape, defining the topography south of the city of Scottville. In the early 21st century, this area remains a mix of established rural settlements and working lands. The city center is anchored by the Scottville Post Office, while the surrounding townships are dotted with historic burial grounds including Brookside Cemetery and North Amber Cemetery.

Industry and recreation are visible side-by-side, from the Riverton Oil Field in the south to the Crystal Lake Campground near Hackert Lake in the north. Numerous small watercourses, such as Swan Creek and India Creek, feed into the main river system. This survey documents the intersection of long-standing farming communities like Amber and Stiles Corners with the natural drainage basins of western Michigan.
