2011 Map of Leonidas

About this map

Nottawa Creek meanders through the central landscape, linking the small communities of Leonidas and Factoryville before eventually joining the Saint Joseph River in the south. This 2011 survey illustrates a region shaped by its watercourses and rural agricultural grid, where small settlements grew around vital hubs like the Leonidas Post Office and the riverside Kings Mill. The northern portion of the map is anchored by Fulton, with the South Fulton Cemetery serving as a significant point for local genealogical interest. Numerous small bodies of water, such as Marl Lake, Mud Lake, and Blossom Lake, dot the terrain between the creeks, highlighting the glacial topography of Saint Joseph County. The well-maintained network of roads, including Fulton Rd and Michigan Ave, connects these disparate hamlets and historic cemeteries, documenting the enduring rural character of this Michigan interior.
