About this map

The Manistee National Forest covers much of this landscape in eastern Oceana County, defined by a dense network of glacial lakes and small watercourses. The village of Walkerville sits on the western edge of the quadrangle, while the smaller settlement of Volney occupies the eastern reaches near the Oceana and Newaygo County line. The terrain is notably wet, characterized by expansive areas like Tanner Swamp and numerous named basins including Gilbert Lake, McLaren Lake, and Sorter Lake.

Genealogists and local historians will find several burial grounds across the townships, including Abson Cem, Volney Cem, and Troy Cem. The hydrography is dominated by the N Br White River and various tributaries such as Beaver Cr and Freeman Cr. The grid of local roads, including Maple Island Rd and N Dickinson Ave, provides a clear view of land divisions and rural property access during this 2017 survey.
