About this map

Calvin Center and the surrounding rural townships of Cass County appear in detail on this survey, highlighting a landscape defined by an intricate network of glacial lakes and historic burying grounds. The southern edge of the sheet follows the Michigan and Indiana border, where the community of Allenton and the northern tip of Simonton Lake cross the state line. Genealogists will find a wealth of local history preserved in the numerous cemeteries scattered across the township, including Bethel Cem, Mount Zion Cem, and the isolated Shaffer Cem further west.

Surface water dominates the terrain, with a chain of lakes such as Juno Lake, Painter Lake, and Christiana Lake connected by the winding path of Christiana Creek. These water bodies, along with smaller features like Bafferty Lake and Mud Lake, have long shaped the settlement patterns of Adamsville and Kessington. The map also captures specialized land uses, notably Taylors Flight Park situated near the shores of Long Lake and Round Lake.
