About this map

East Gilead and West Kinderhook anchor this rural landscape along the Michigan and Indiana border, where a dense network of glacial lakes and wetlands defines the local geography. The map documents a classic Midwestern township structure, with family names preserved in sites like Ammerman Cem and Card Cem. The water-rich terrain is dominated by Lake of the Woods and a series of smaller basins including Bingham Lake, Lake Lavine, and North Pleasant Lake.

Transport routes like S Old US Hwy 27 cut through the eastern portion of the quadrangle, linking the small settlement of Kinderhook to the surrounding farmland. To the south, the survey captures the transition into Steuben County, Indiana, at Jamestown, situated near the shores of Lake George. This detailed modern record illustrates the enduring agricultural and recreational character of the region, where numerous cemeteries like East Gilead Cem and Sorter Cem provide vital touchpoints for local genealogical research.
