About this map

The Saint Joseph River winds prominently through this part of Berrien County, defining the geography of Berrien Springs and surrounding townships. This 2017 survey shows the river expanding into Lake Chapin and encircling Pardee Island, a notable landform in the river's path. The area is a mix of educational institutions and rural landscapes, anchored by the Andrews Univ campus and its associated Andrews University Airpark.

Settlement patterns follow a network of established roads such as River Rd and Pipestone Rd, connecting small communities like Eau Claire, Berrien Center, and Fairland. For those researching local family history, several burial grounds are documented, including Rose Hill Cem near the riverbank and the South Maple Grove Cem. The landscape is dotted with numerous small water bodies like Webster Lake and Steinbauer Lake, illustrating the post-glacial topography typical of this Michigan region.
