2019 Map of Vestaburg

About this map

Vestaburg and the neighboring settlement of Cedar Lake anchor this central Michigan landscape at the border of Isabella and Montcalm counties. The area is defined by a dense concentration of glacial kettle lakes and wetlands, including Rock Lake, Bass Lake, and Marl Lake, which dictate the irregular patterns of the local road network. The Fred Meijer Heartland Trail follows a clear east-west corridor through both primary settlements, tracing the path of a former rail line that once connected these rural communities. Genealogists will find the locations of the Cedar Lake Cem and Richland Cem clearly marked. To the north, the terrain becomes more fluid as the Pine River and the N Br Pine River transition through marshy lowlands near Bullhead Lake, illustrating the complex drainage of the Pine River watershed.
