2023 Map of Scottville

About this map

Scottville serves as the central hub of this Mason County landscape, where the Pere Marquette River winds through the southern reaches, flanked by extensive wetlands and tributary systems including Swan Creek and India Creek. The map reveals a deeply established rural infrastructure, organized around a grid of section-line roads like W Johnson Rd and W Chauvez Rd. This 2023 survey is particularly valuable for genealogists, as it identifies several distinct burial grounds scattered across the townships, including North Amber Cem, South Victory Cem, and Brookside Cem. These sites, along with the smaller Rickey Cem and West Riverton Cem, provide concrete points of reference for tracing local family histories. To the north, the terrain is dotted with glacial features such as Hackert Lake and Vogel Lake, highlighting the classic kettle-and-kame topography characteristic of this part of Michigan.
