About this map

The Saint Joseph River and its major tributaries, the Fawn River and Pigeon River, anchor this detailed look at southern Michigan and the Indiana borderlands. The village of Constantine occupies a prominent bend in the river, where established street grids like N Washington St and Canaris St meet industrial developments near the Fawn River confluence. This area is notably dense with local burial sites including Pioneer Memorial Cem, Constantine Cem, and the more remote Stengle Cem, offering a valuable spatial record for genealogical research in Saint Joseph County.

Further south, the landscape shifts toward the agricultural border with Indiana near the small community of White Pigeon. The map captures the complex hydrology of the region, featuring drainage systems like Love Joy Ditch and Fetch Ditch alongside natural bodies such as Stag Lake and Fish Lake. The transition from Michigan into Elkhart and LaGrange Counties in Indiana is marked by the settlement of Vistula, situated along the rail lines and regional thoroughfares that have historically connected these border townships.
