New Buffalo and its surrounding shoreline communities define the landscape of this Lake Michigan borderland, where the Michigan Indiana state line meets the Berrien Co Laporte Co boundary. The map illustrates a dense network of residential development along the lake, including established areas like Lakeside, Union Pier, and Gordon Beach. Just inland, the Galien River and its various branches, such as South Branch Galien River and Blood Run, create a complex hydrological system that flows through the terrain. Cultural landmarks including Lakeside Cem and Heckman Memorial Cem offer valuable points of reference for local history. To the east, the settlement of Three Oaks and the recreation-oriented Sokol Camp reflect the varied land use of the region, from quiet woodland enclaves to agricultural stretches near Crosby Marsh.
