2019 Map of Baroda

About this map

Baroda serves as the central hub of this agricultural landscape in Berrien County, where a network of rural roads such as Cleveland Ave and Linco Rd connect small settlements and family farmsteads. The terrain is defined by a dense system of drains and creeks, including Hickory Cr and Lemon Cr, which feed into the Saint Joseph River at the eastern edge. This hydrography suggests a long history of land management for farming, evidenced by the numerous named drains like Big Meadow Drain and Shuler Drain. Genealogists will find a high density of rural burial grounds, such as Hinman Cem, Ruggles Cem, and Feather Cem, marking the early centers of community life in hamlets like Snow, Arden, and Glendora. The presence of the Baroda Airport and the transition from traditional farming to more diverse land use is visible in the parcel patterns surrounding Hess Lake and Singer Lake.
