USGS Topo · Published 1950About this map
The St Joseph River anchors this landscape as it winds through Berrien County, connecting the industrial hubs of Buchanan and Niles. In the late 1920s, this region was a complex network of rail lines including the Michigan Central and Pere Marquette, which served the agricultural hinterlands. The map reveals a dense distribution of rural education and community centers, from the Emmanuel Missionary College near Berrien Springs to numerous country schools like Batchelors Sch and Hills Sch.
