Colfax and the eastern edge of Walkerville define the settlement pattern of this West Michigan landscape, where the agricultural grid meets the protected woodlands of the Manistee National Forest. The map reveals a high density of small lakes and wetlands, including Gilbert Lake, Campbell Lake, and Rossel Lake, which are connected by a network of drainage creeks like Freeman Cr and Beaver Cr. This 2014 survey documents the enduring presence of local community landmarks, specifically the Troy Cem, Abson Cem, and Volney Cem, which serve as critical anchors for genealogical research in this rural portion of Oceana and Newaygo counties.
