The Saint Joseph River carves a winding path through this Michigan-Indiana borderland, anchoring the historic settlements of Buchanan and Niles. The landscape transitions from the developed river corridors to the open agricultural expanses of Portage Prairie in the south. This 2014 survey reveals a rich cemetery record essential for genealogical research, including Portage Prairie Cem, Bertrand Protestant Cem, and the Saint Josephs Cem near the state line. Near the river, the Father Allouez Grave Site serves as a reminder of early missionary activity in the region. The map also documents the vanished-town character of Bertrand, once a significant village, alongside specialized landmarks like Wolverton's Field Airport and the Ann Beason Purdy Groves.
