About this map

Lake Michiana and Lake Pleasant straddle the state line where Branch County, Michigan, meets Steuben County, Indiana, in this 2014 survey. This glaciated borderland is defined by a dense concentration of water bodies, including Dragon Lake, Lake Lavine, and Lake of the Woods, interspersed with small agricultural settlements like Kinderhook and East Gilead. The landscape is a network of rural routes such as W Central Rd and S Angola Rd, connecting isolated farmsteads and historic burial sites.

Genealogists and local historians can trace legacy sites through numerous cemeteries scattered across the township, including E Gilead Cem, Sorter Cem, and Ammerman Cem. The presence of the Prairie River and Coldwater River highlights the complex drainage of this region, where terrain features like Brown Island and Kope Kon Point provide specific geographic markers for those studying family land tracts or regional development at the start of the 21st century.
