About this map

Klinger Lake serves as the central hub of this borderland survey, surrounded by established lakeside communities including Bluff Beach, Sandy Beach, Breezy Beach, and Oakwood. The landscape is defined by its complex glacial hydrology, where smaller basins like Tamarack Lake, Grass Lake, and the Marl Lakes cluster among the drainage systems of the Fawn River and Pigeon River. The terrain features the curious Devils Hole and Mound Spring, indicating a region of varied elevation and natural springs.

Local history is anchored by the Oak Grove Mennonite Cem, Calhoun Cem, and Salem Cem, reflecting the early settlement patterns of White Pigeon Township. The southern edge of the map traces the Michigan-Indiana state line, cutting across rural sections where St. Joseph County and Lagrange County meet. The road network follows established section lines, with routes like Mintdale Rd and Dickinson Rd connecting the scattered farmsteads and residential clusters around the lakeshores.
