About this map

Schoolcraft anchors the northern reaches of this landscape, where the flat plains of Kalamazoo County meet the rolling terrain of St. Joseph County. This 2019 data illustrates a rural expanse defined by its intricate drainage and small agrarian settlements like Flowerfield, Howardsville, and Chamberlain. The southern portion of the map is dominated by the wandering path of the Rocky River and Flowerfield Creek, which feed into various wetlands and lakes such as Ayers Lake.

Genealogists will find a high density of burial sites preserved in this modern survey, ranging from the Schoolcraft Cem in the north to the Upper Flatbush Cem and Moore Park Cem in the south. The agricultural and light industrial character of the region is further evidenced by features like the Marl Pit near the river and the Prairie Ronde Airport north of Shaver Cem, highlighting the area's continued reliance on its land and local transportation networks.
