2012 Map of Walkerville East

About this map

Gilbert Lake Oil Field and the Huber Oil Field underscore the industrial character of this corner of Oceana County, where natural resource extraction coexists with a dense network of inland lakes and wetlands. The settlement of Colfax and the community of Troy are connected by a grid of rural routes like Jackson Rd and N 192nd Ave, while Spring Hill rises above the southern drainage of the N Br White River. Local genealogy is well-represented by several burial grounds, including Troy Cem and Abson Cem, which serve as quiet landmarks among the glacial kettle lakes such as Gilbert Lake, McLaren Lake, and Mountain Lake. The map reveals a landscape defined by small-scale agriculture and timbered tracts, punctuated by landmarks like the Po at the western edge and the crossroads at Volney.
