About this map

The tri-state corner of Michigan, Indiana, and Ohio defines this landscape, where Hillsdale and Branch counties meet Steuben County. The village of Camden sits near the southern edge of the sheet, while the larger settlement of Reading occupies the northeastern corner. This area is characterized by a high concentration of glacial kettle lakes and wetlands, including Suckey Lake, Mead Lake, and the expansive Big Swamp near the Indiana-Michigan border. These water bodies are connected by a network of drains and creeks, notably Fisher Creek and the West Fork West Branch Saint Joseph River.

Local history is preserved in several rural burial grounds such as West Reading Cem and Berg Cem. The settlement at Montgomery marks a significant waypoint along the east-west corridor, while the hamlet of Ray sits directly on the state line. Genealogists and researchers can trace old property boundaries via the Public Land Survey System grid, which is clearly marked with townships such as t7s r4w and t8s r5w.
