About this map

Burlington and Tekonsha anchor the northern reaches of this landscape where the Saint Joseph River winds through the borderlands of Calhoun and Branch Counties. This area is defined by a dense network of country roads, such as 11 Mile Rd and M-60, which connect small crossroads and agricultural settlements. Further south, the village of Girard sits near a cluster of glacial water bodies, including Hubbard Lake, Olney Lake, and Girard Lake.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of local burial grounds, including the Burlington Township Cem, Windfall Cem, and Evergreen Cem near the eastern edge. The topography transitions from the low wetlands of Burnett Cr to local high points like Stony Point Hill and Dixon Hall. The southern portion of the map follows the Coldwater River as it passes through Hodunk toward Morrison Lake, illustrating the traditional reliance on these waterways for early regional development.
