About this map

The Saint Joseph River meanders across the northern portion of this landscape, anchoring the village of Tekonsha, where the Tekonsha Post Office serves as a central local landmark. This rural Michigan topography is defined by a rigorous section-line road grid and a network of named waterways including Tamarack Creek, Tekonsha Creek, and the dual branches of Hog Creek. To the south, the small settlement of South Butler stands at a crossroads, representing the persistent agricultural character of the region.

Genealogists and local historians will find several burial grounds documented, including Riverside Cemetery near the village and Mount Hope Cemetery, Evergreen Cemetery, and Clarks Cemetery distributed across the township. The landscape is also marked by a cluster of water bodies such as West Shed Lake, East Shed Lake, and South Shed Lake, which illustrate the post-glacial drainage patterns of Calhoun County.
