About this map

Klinger Lake serves as the central focal point of this recreational and residential landscape in southern Michigan, surrounded by established lakeside communities like Bluff Beach, Sandy Beach, Breezy Beach, and Oakwood. The drainage patterns of the region are defined by the meandering Fawn River and the Pigeon River, which weave through a glacial terrain dotted with smaller water bodies such as Tamarack Lake, Grass Lake, and Devils Hole.

For genealogists and local historians, the placement of Calhoun Cemetery and Salem Cemetery near the northern boundary provides specific points of interest for family research. The settlement of Klingers sits just south of the main lake, illustrating the late 20th and early 21st-century development of the area. Engineered waterways like Hallwood Drain and Wenger Ditch reflect the historical efforts to manage the wetlands and marshes common to this portion of Saint Joseph County.
