About this map

The East Branch Saint Joseph River and its numerous tributaries, including Goose Creek and Bird Creek, define the drainage patterns of this rural Hillsdale County landscape. Small agricultural hubs like Pittsford, Prattville, and Lickly Corners serve as the primary focal points of human settlement, each supported by local institutions such as the Pittsford Post Office and Prattville Post Office. The township layout is heavily defined by a regular grid of country roads, including Tamarack Rd and Squawfield Rd, which connect the various farms to the community centers.

Genealogists will find several burial grounds mapped here, including Leonardson Cemetery, Greenwood Cemetery, and the Prattville Cemetery. The area is notably dotted with several numbered lakes, such as Lake Number Five and Lake Number One, along with named bodies of water like Bell Lake and the Pittsford Millpond, illustrating a landscape shaped by glacial activity and drainage management. The southern portion of the quadrangle includes the small settlement of Betzer near the edge of the county line.
