About this map

Bangor and Breedsville serve as the primary population centers in this portion of Van Buren County, linked by the winding course of the S Br Black River. The landscape is defined by a dense network of water management features, including the Black River Extension Drain, Nelson Extension Drain, and Lower Jeptha Lake Drain, reflecting the area's history of land reclamation and agriculture.

Genealogists will find several burial grounds distributed across the townships, such as Arlington Hill Cem, Hoppin Cem, and Breedsville Cem. The eastern half of the map is particularly water-rich, featuring a chain of lakes including Upper Jeptha Lake, Stillwell Lake, and Lake Fourteen. In the city of Bangor, industrial and local landmarks like Mill Pond and the Southard Cem anchor the community's historical footprint.
