2017 Map of Sturgis

About this map

The city of Sturgis anchors this southern Michigan landscape, situated just north of the Indiana border. The area is defined by a dense concentration of glacial lakes and complex drainage patterns, including the Prairie River to the north and the Fawn River to the south. Notable water bodies such as Minnewaukan Lake, Perrin Lake, and Eight Foot Lake are interspersed with smaller features like Nye Drain and Wenger Ditch. Aviation history is represented by the Kirsch Municipal Airport, which sits on the northwestern edge of the city. The township grid is well-established, with roads like Featherstone Rd and Mintdale Rd connecting the rural lakefronts. Local genealogical interest is found in several burial grounds, including the large Oak Lawn Cem and the outlying Tobey Cem, providing a detailed view of the community's footprint in the late 2010s.
