2011 Map of Sodus

About this map

Sodus serves as a primary settlement node in this Berrien County landscape, situated near the winding course of Pipestone Creek. The map documents a dense network of rural communities including Millburg, Shanghai Corners, and Spinks Corners, each defined by the intersections of historically significant thoroughfares like Territorial Rd and E Napier Ave. For genealogists, the map is particularly detailed, recording numerous family and community burial grounds such as Byers Cemetery, Pennyan Cemetery, and the Ferry Cemetery near the southern edge. The presence of Pearl Grange and the Sodus Post Office highlights the agricultural and civic centers that supported these townships. Waterways like Blue Creek and Love Creek carve through the terrain, illustrating the natural drainage patterns that shaped early land divisions and later development such as the Pipestone Creek Golf Course.
