About this map

The Saint Joseph River winds through this agricultural landscape, anchoring the village of Litchfield as it appeared in the early 21st century. The map reveals a high density of rural burial grounds, such as Whig Center Cemetery, Shooks Prairie Cemetery, and Saratoga Cemetery, which offer valuable coordinates for genealogists tracing family histories in the region. To the west, the crossroads of Butler serves as a local landmark, characterized by the Butler Speedway and the nearby Butler Cemetery.

Smaller watercourses like Sand Creek and Soap Creek drain the surrounding farm acreage, while local aviation and recreation are represented by Claucherty Airport and Jenkins Golf Course. This survey captures the enduring grid of county roads and section lines that define southern Michigan’s interior, connecting established settlements like Bentleys Corners to the central hub of Litchfield Village Cemetery and the Litchfield Post Office.
