About this map

Vestaburg and Cedar Lake anchor this agricultural and lake-studded landscape in Montcalm County, Michigan. The area is defined by the winding course of the Pine River and its various tributaries, including Skunk Creek and Wolf Creek, which thread through a grid of rural section roads. The map illustrates a localized economy and community structure centered around small lakeside settlements and natural resource extraction, notably the Christenson Oil Field in the west and the numerous glacial lakes such as Rock Lake, Bass Lake, and Marl Lake.

Genealogists and local historians can pinpoint specific community landmarks, from the Cedar Lake Post Office and Vestaburg Post Office to the Richland Cemetery and Cedar Lake Cemetery. The layout of the township is meticulously detailed with named roads like W South County Line Rd and N Vickeryville Rd, showing the enduring settlement patterns and land divisions of this portion of central Michigan.
