About this map

Elbridge and the western outskirts of Walkerville serve as the primary anchors of this Oceana County landscape, where small-scale settlements are defined by an extensive network of cemeteries and glacial water bodies. The presence of the Indian Cem and Saint Joseph's Catholic Cem near the center of the township provides significant points of interest for genealogists, while the Elbridge Township Cem and Carpenter Cem further mark the local family history of the area.

The terrain is deeply influenced by the South Branch Pentwater River and numerous lakes such as Cobmoosa Lake, Pebawma Lake, and Leavitt Lake. To the south, the landscape shifts toward lower wetland features like Knox Swamp and the headwaters of Reunions Creek. This 2023 survey documents the modern road grid, from E Jackson Rd to Buchanan Rd, overlaying a rural interior that retains its traditional character through preserved community landmarks like the Goodrich Cem and Gale Cem.
