2012 Map of Wiley

About this map

Wiley sits at the intersection of a rural landscape defined by glacial lakes and localized energy production in Mason County. The Wiley Oil Field occupies the northeastern corner of the map, while the Ludington Winter Sports Area in the northwest points to the region's recreational character. This 2012 survey illustrates a well-developed grid of country roads connecting established agricultural crossroads like Smith Corners and Bucks Corners. For those researching local families, the map identifies several distinct burial grounds, including Saint Peter's Cem, Saint Marys Cem, and Eden Cem. The hydrological network is dominated by the N Br Pentwater River and several small water bodies such as North Oxbow Lake, South Oxbow Lake, and Saint Marys Lake, which drain the surrounding woodlots and fields into the larger Lake Michigan watershed to the west.
