1985 Map of Walkerville West

About this map

Walkerville sits at the eastern edge of this mid-1980s landscape, where the agricultural clearings of Elbridge and Crystal townships meet the wooded expanse of the Manistee National Forest. This region of West Michigan is defined by its diverse hydrologic network, featuring the South Branch Pentwater River and a scattering of glacial basins including Pebawma Lake, Leavitt Lake, and Cobmoosa Lake. The map reveals the imprint of 19th-century infrastructure through the Old Grade trail, while smaller settlements like Routley and Twin Bridges Corners indicate local landmarks that have persisted through generations of rural life.
