About this map

The eastern shore of Lake Michigan defines the western edge of this Oceana County landscape, where coastal dunes and inland waters like Stony Lake and Long Lake meet a network of rural townships. The map reveals a dense distribution of local burial grounds that trace the genealogy of the area, including Stony Lake Cem, Cranston Cem, and Saint John's Catholic Cem. These sites, along with several Lutheran cemeteries, point to the community-centered settlement patterns of early Michigan residents.

Drainage systems such as Stony Cr and Whisky Cr wind through the terrain, supporting local landmarks like Marshville Pond. To the southeast, the protected lands of the Manistee National Forest appear, providing a glimpse into the managed timberlands and natural preserves that characterize this portion of the state. The layout of county roads, such as Co Hwy B-15, provides the primary grid for navigating between small hubs like Town Corners.
