About this map

Agricultural lands and river valleys dominate this landscape at the intersection of Kalamazoo, St. Joseph, Calhoun, and Branch counties. The St Joseph River and Portage River anchor the drainage of a terrain dotted with numerous glacial lakes, including the large Indian Lake and Portage Lake. This 1944 edition, revised from 1938 aerial photography, shows a mature rural infrastructure defined by a remarkably dense network of local school districts, such as Walnut Ridge Sch, Bigelow Sch, and Leggett Sch. Small village centers like Fulton and Scotts serve as focal points for the surrounding farmsteads, while the Grand Trunk Western RR provides a critical transit link through Climax and past the Indian Lake Sta. The presence of landmarks like Dutton Cemetery and several rural churches suggests a well-established social fabric in these townships during the mid-20th century.
