2014 Map of Bronson South

About this map

Bronson stands at the northern edge of this landscape, where the street grid of York St and Compton St gives way to the section-line roads of Branch County. The terrain is defined by its glacial history, with numerous kettle lakes and wetlands including Gilead Lake, Duncan Lake, and Monroe Lake interspersed among the farm plots. In the southern reaches, the Michigan-Indiana state line marks the boundary above Greenfield Reservoir and the Fawn River. This 2014 survey reveals a quiet agricultural and residential pattern where several small burial grounds, such as Saint Marys Cem and Gilead Cem, serve as primary landmarks for local genealogists. The movement of water through the Prairie River and its various tributaries continues to shape the low-lying areas between the township lines of t7s r8w and t8s r7w.
