2019 Map of Blakeslee

About this map

The village of Blakeslee anchors the southwest corner of this landscape, where the local grid of county roads meets the flowing path of the Saint Joseph River. This corner of Williams County is defined by a dense network of rural infrastructure and burial grounds that speak to generations of settlement, including Saint Joseph Cem, Union Chapel Cem, and the West Buffalo Cem near the river's bend. The hydrology of the region is intricately mapped, showing how drainage features like Tamarack Ditch and Bear Cr feed into the larger river system. Near the northern boundary, Eagle Cr meanders past Heritage Cem and Eagle Creek Cem, while local recreation is represented by Marvin Thiel Field on the outskirts of the primary settlement. The map captures a meticulously organized agricultural township structure at the end of the second decade of the 21st century.
