About this map

The tri-state corner where Michigan, Indiana, and Ohio converge is defined by a dense cluster of kettle lakes and agricultural settlements. Reading and Montgomery serve as primary hubs within this landscape, connected by a network of rural roads such as Kelley Rd and Rood Rd. The terrain is marked by significant wetlands, most notably the expanse of Big Swamp and the headwaters of the W Fork W Br Saint Joseph River, illustrating the post-glacial drainage patterns of the region.

Smaller hamlets like West Reading and Ray appear alongside numerous water bodies, including Mead Lake, Long Lake, and Loon Lake. Local heritage is anchored by several rural burial grounds, such as Gleason Cem and Beckwith Cem, and centers of worship like Covenant Ch. This survey provides a clear view of the complex hydrography of Hillsdale and Branch Counties, where drains like Prouty Drain and Joe Drain navigate the undulating glacial topography.
