2019 Map of Pioneer

About this map

Pioneer sits at the heart of this borderland landscape, where the agricultural plains of Northwest Ohio meet the Michigan state line. The survey captures a region defined by its river systems, specifically the East Branch Saint Joseph River and its various tributaries like Silver Cr and Clear Fork. For genealogists and local historians, the map is remarkably dense with burial sites, including Floral Grove Cem near the town center and several smaller rural plots such as Amboy Cem, Drake Cem, and Pease Cem. Further south, the map documents the area near Holiday City, showcasing the modern road infrastructure including US Route 20. The grid of country roads, from Buckeye Rd to Frontier Rd, reveals the enduring rectangular survey pattern of these fertile townships, while features like Nettle Cr trace the natural drainage through the southern portion of the quadrangle.
