About this map

Litchfield anchors the southeastern corner of this landscape, where the Saint Joseph River and Sand Cr converge. This rural section of southern Michigan is defined by its extensive drainage network and scattered agricultural settlements like Butler and Bentleys Corners. The map reveals a high density of local burial sites, from the centrally located Saratoga Cem to the uniquely named Boot Hill Cem.

A complex system of agricultural water management is evident through numerous named channels such as Lampson Run Drain and McClelland and Extension Drain, which navigate the terrain between Quaker Lake and Whitcomb Lake. The boundary lines of Hillsdale, Branch, and Calhoun counties meet here, underlining the area's importance as a regional crossroads for local townships. Aviation history is represented by Claucherty Airport, situated near the bends of the river.
