2023 Map of Burlington

About this map

Burlington serves as the primary hub of activity in this 2023 survey, situated along the north-flowing Saint Joseph River. The landscape transitions from the developed grid of the town into the surrounding agricultural and marshy terrain of the Calhoun Co and Branch Co border. Local history is deeply etched into the land through the presence of multiple burial grounds, including the Old Burlington Cem and the Burlington Township Cem, which reflect the settlement's 19th-century roots. To the south, the village of Hodunk marks the confluence where the Coldwater River and Hog Creek meet, illustrating the traditional importance of water junctions in Michigan's rural development. The southern portion of the sheet is characterized by unique topographic features like the Cherry Flats and a dense cluster of water bodies including Morrison Lake and Girard Lake.
