About this map

The state line between Branch Co, Michigan, and Steuben Co, Indiana, anchors this geographic survey, where glacial lakes dominate the landscape. To the north, the waters of Coldwater Lake and its residential developments, including Crystal Beach, Sans Souci Beach, and Pearl Beach, illustrate the area's history as a prominent regional recreation hub. The lake is punctuated by the notable Iyopawa Island, accessible from the western shore.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant detail in the numerous rural burial grounds scattered across the townships, such as Amish Cem, the Brown Family Cem, and California Corners Cem. The southern portion of the sheet transitions into a mosaic of smaller water bodies like Withington Lake, Lake Bricker, and Huyck Lake. The small unincorporated community of California and the settlement of Algansee serve as the primary local landmarks in this largely agricultural corridor defined by the Michigan Indiana border.
