About this map

Little Muskegon River meanders through the heart of this landscape, its winding course defining the rural character of this Newaygo County region in the early 21st century. The map centers on the small settlement of Tift Corner and the northern community of Oxbow, situated near the expanse of Hardy Dam Pond. This survey provides essential detail for family historians, documenting several local burial grounds including Gulp Cem, Prairie Cem, and the Christian Plains Cem.

The area is characterized by a grid of rural roads and watercourses like Tamarack Cr and Ryan Cr. Landmarks such as Howe Airport and several lakes, including Tucker Lake and Brady Lake, offer fixed points of reference for those tracing land ownership and community development. The intricate shoreline of the river system suggests a terrain shaped by water, where local life follows the paths of these established creeks and historical crossings.
