About this map

The South Branch Kalamazoo River and the St Joseph River define the hydraulic landscape of this rural Michigan borderland where Jackson, Hillsdale, and Calhoun counties meet. By the early 1980s, the area maintained a quiet agricultural character, centered on the historic village of Mosherville and the nearby Mosherville Station. The map captures a transition in transport, noting an old Railroad Grade while maintaining a network of alphabetized rural routes like R Drive South and T Drive South.

Family history researchers will find a high density of small burial grounds including Mount Hope Cem, Case Cem, and Fisher Cem, alongside established settlements like Pulaski and Litchfield. The northern section reveals local industry through an Oil Field and multiple gravel operations, while the landscape is dotted with small lakes such as Goose Lake and Mosherville Lake, typical of the region's glacial topography.
