How to Use This Hersey, Michigan Map

This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Hersey, Michigan. Use the Map and Satellite buttons above to switch between street map and aerial imagery views. Use the + and buttons to zoom in or out, or scroll your mouse wheel while holding the Control key to zoom. On a touchscreen, use a two-finger pinch gesture. Drag the map to pan to any area of Michigan or beyond.

Click ⛶ Fullscreen to expand the map to fill your screen. To return to the normal page view, press the Escape key, click the ✕ Exit Fullscreen button that appears above the map, or on a mobile device tap the back button (Android) or the close icon (iOS).

TOPO MAPS — NEW. Click the green 🔍 Search Maps button below the map to open a second map with a Base map row offering three choices. OSM is the standard OpenStreetMap street map. Topo shows the official USGS topographic maps from The National Map — contours, hydrography, land cover and shaded relief, the same mapping used for hiking, hunting and back-country navigation in the Adirondacks, the Catskills and the Finger Lakes. Imagery shows USGS aerial photography, mostly 1-metre NAIP. The search box finds any US town, county or landmark by name, so you are not limited to Hersey.

Reading the map like a paper quad. Click Grid to overlay the U.S. National Grid (USNG), labelled along the edges exactly as a printed topographic sheet is — at normal zoom the squares are one kilometre across, so you can read a six-figure grid reference by eye and judge distance directly off the map. Click Measure, then tap two points, to get the distance between them together with the grid bearing in degrees and mils, the true bearing, and the magnetic bearing to set on a compass.

Click 📍 My position to take a single GPS reading from your device. It marks where you are and reports your position as a USNG grid reference as well as plain latitude and longitude — USNG being the format FEMA and US search and rescue teams work from — with a Copy position button so you can paste it straight into a text message. It takes one reading and stops, rather than tracking continuously, to conserve your battery. Note that map tiles need cell coverage, but a GPS reading does not — your coordinates stay correct even where the map itself cannot load.

Hersey defines the landscape where the Hersey River carves a deliberate path through the quiet, low-lying basin of the central interior. It lies 28.0 miles south of Cadillac, MI (from Cadillac, MI: bearing 184°T), and is situated 3.7 miles east-southeast of Reed City. The air here holds a crisp, earthen weight, cooling rapidly as the sun dips behind the distant silhouette of the Ward Hills, which sit twenty-nine miles to the west like a bruised purple line against the horizon. Deep woodland stretches toward the Chippewa River State Forest, where the scent of pine needles and damp loam permeates the heavy, still atmosphere of the timbered tracts. Four miles away, the surface of Little Blodgett Lake remains a mirror for the shifting clouds, undisturbed by the modern velocity that characterizes more frantic corners of the state.

Hersey maintains a slow, steady pulse inherited from an era of lumber camps and rail lines that once dictated the rhythm of every sunrise. While the Private Golf Course offers a manicured interruption to the wilder stretches of brush and bramble, the local economy remains tethered to the patient cycles of the land and the modest commerce of a working interior. The history of the place is etched not in grand monuments, but in the way the sunlight catches the weathered wood of original homesteads and the persistent, unhurried flow of the Hersey River as it navigates the valley. Life here proceeds with a functional grace, favoring the steady labor of the seasons over the fleeting distractions of the outside world.

About This Hersey Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Hersey, Michigan. Coordinates: 43.84863, -85.444491. Live weather conditions are sourced directly from the National Weather Service. Real-time local and world news feeds keep the page current.

Detailed location data for Hersey includes the ZIP code (49639), telephone area code (989), county seat of Osceola County (Reed City), and school district assignment (Reed City Area Public Schools).

Search Maps opens a second, independent map. It searches OpenStreetMap for any US town, county or landmark by name; offers USGS topographic maps and USGS aerial imagery as base layers; overlays a labelled U.S. National Grid (USNG) so the map can be read like a printed topographic quad; measures distance and grid, true and magnetic bearings between any two points; and takes a single GPS fix reporting your position as a USNG grid reference and as latitude and longitude. Map tiles require cell coverage, but a GPS position does not, so the coordinates remain correct even where the map cannot load.

Location data is drawn from the USGS Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) and cross-verified against 2020 US Census records by coordinate proximity. Population figures are sourced from the 2020 US Census.
