The Dowagiac River and its numerous tributaries, including Peavine Creek and Pokagon Creek, define the landscape of this portion of Southwest Michigan. Centered on the settlements of Sumnerville and Pokagon, the area is characterized by a dense concentration of rural burial grounds, such as Summerville Cemetery, Pokagon Cemetery, and the Morris Chapel Cemetery. This suggests a deeply rooted local history with many established family plots and community congregations preserved across the township.
