About this map

Stony Lake and the eastern shore of Lake Michigan define the landscape of this Oceana County coastal region. The map reveals a dense network of early 21st-century agricultural roads and rural cemeteries that speak to the deep-rooted settlement patterns of Shelby Township. Genealogists will find several burial grounds, including Saint Stephen's Lutheran Cem near Saddleback Lake and the Saint John's Catholic Cem further south.

A complex hydrological system of creeks, including Stony Cr and Dorrance Cr, feeds into the various inland basins like Marshville Pond. The presence of the Manistee Nat For boundary in the southeastern corner suggests a transition from private farmland to managed public timberlands. This map serves as an excellent resource for tracing local family history through landmarks like Pine Grove Cem and the Gardner Cem.
