About this map

Hillsdale sits at the southwestern edge of this landscape, serving as a hub where the N Country National Scenic Trail winds through the hills. This 2019 survey documents a region of South Central Michigan defined by its numerous glacial lakes and complex drainage systems, including the headwaters of the Saint Joseph River and the S Br Kalamazoo River. Small settlements like North Adams, Osseo, and Steamburg punctuate the grid of rural roads, each tied to the agricultural and lake-focused economy of the area.

Local history is preserved in several rural burial grounds such as North Lawn Cem, Mount Pleasant Cem, and East Hill Cem. The terrain is dominated by water features like Baw Beese Lake and Lake Adams, which are interconnected by an intricate network of waterways including Beebe Cr and several named drains. The Hillsdale Municipal Airport occupies a central position, reflecting modern infrastructure alongside long-established township lines.
