About this map

Galien stands as the primary hub of this Southwest Michigan landscape, located where the Galien River winds through the southwestern quadrant of the quadrangle. The map details a region densely populated with family-named landmarks and essential community sites, including the Galien Post Office and several rural burial grounds such as the Stevens Farm Cemetery and Bakertown Cemetery. To the north, the terrain is characterized by a high concentration of small kettle lakes and drains, including Madron Lake, Judy Lake, and the recreational grounds at Camp Madron.

Transport and water management are central themes, evidenced by the Hancock Airport and an intricate network of drainage features like Judy Lake Drain and Bakertown Drain. Further east, the settlement of Bakertown anchors the eastern edge of the survey, while Dayton Lake and the Dayton Cemetery reflect the long-standing agricultural and residential patterns of Berrien County during the early 21st century.
