About this map

The village of Baroda serves as a central hub in this agricultural landscape of Berrien County, where the C & O RR tracks run parallel to Hickory Creek. The terrain is defined by a series of small, glacial kettle lakes and drains, including Singer Lake, Hess Lake, and Madron Lake, interspersed with active industrial sites like the Sandpit and various Gravel Pits. Local infrastructure from the early 1970s is well-documented, showing the Hickox Landing Strip and a Water Tank in the heart of town.

Genealogists will find a high density of rural burial grounds such as Glendora Cem, Oak Grove Cem, and Ruggles Cem, alongside local spiritual centers like the Church of God and Oronoko Ch. Smaller hamlets like Glendora, Hinchman, and Arden are connected by a grid of named rural routes, including Shawnee Road and Snow Road, reflecting a landscape deeply shaped by township boundaries like Oronoko and Weesaw.
