2011 Map of Baroda

About this map

Baroda serves as a central hub in this agricultural landscape, situated along the banks of Hickory Creek. The map documents a patchwork of family-named landmarks and small rural settlements like Glendora, Arden, and Hinchman, characteristic of Berrien County's interior. A notable concentration of historic burial grounds, including Ruggles Cemetery, Salem Cemetery, and Feather Cemetery, provides a rich resource for genealogical research and mapping early land ownership patterns. The terrain is defined by a complex drainage network, where the Saint Joseph River clips the northeastern corner and Lemon Creek meanders toward the center. This survey illustrates the relationship between the area's many small water bodies, such as Singer Lake and Boyle Lake, and the surrounding farmsteads and orchards that have long sustained the local economy.
