About this map

The tri-state junction where Michigan, Indiana, and Ohio meet anchors this 1980s topographic overview, centering on a landscape defined by glacial lakes and a complex network of waterways. Major drainage systems like the St. Joseph River and Tiffin River wind through fertile plains, while concentrated lake clusters such as Manitou Beach, Devils Lake, and Round Lake highlight the region's recreational development.

Settlement patterns reveal established hubs like Adrian, Hillsdale, and Coldwater, connected by a robust infrastructure of Conrail and Norfolk and Western Railway lines. For the local historian, the map preserves specific points of interest ranging from the Old Indian Treaty Cem and Riverside Cem to extensive conservation lands such as the Lost Nations State Game Area and Lake Hudson State Park. Large-scale regional features, including the Fulton County Airport and Municipal Airport, underscore the modern transportation framework of the late twentieth century.
