2014 Map of Burlington

About this map

Burlington sits at the northern edge of this Michigan landscape, where the Saint Joseph River meanders through Calhoun and Branch Counties. The river system, including the Coldwater River and Burnett Cr, shapes a region defined by its numerous small glacial basins, such as Hubbard Lake, Vincent Lake, and Musser Lake. Small settlements like Girard and Hodunk anchor the rural crossroads, reflecting a long-standing agricultural and township structure. Local history is traced through several burial grounds, including the Burlington Township Cem and Windfall Cem. To the south, the topography descends toward Hodunk Pond and Craig Lake, while Stony Point Hill provides one of the few prominent elevation markers in an area otherwise characterized by steady watercourses and a dense network of numbered mile roads and county routes like M 60 E.
