2019 Map of Town Corners

About this map

Lake Michigan forms the western boundary of this coastal landscape, where the shoreline meets a network of small inland lakes and winding creeks. The settlement of Stony Lake serves as a focal point near the coast, while the eastern portion of the map is defined by the corridor of US-31 passing near Shelby and Rothbury. Between these areas lies a rural grid of roads dotted with numerous small cemeteries and parish churches, indicating a well-established community fabric in Oceana County. Genealogy researchers will find several dedicated sites such as Gardner Cem, Cranston Cem, and Saint John's Catholic Cem. The southern edge transitions into the protected timberlands of the Manistee National Forest, where the terrain is drained by the N Br Flower Cr and S Br Flower Cr. This survey illustrates the balance between agricultural layout, coastal recreation, and forest preservation.
