About this map

Tekonsha sits at the confluence of the Saint Joseph River and Tekonsha Cr, serving as a central hub for this portion of southern Michigan. The landscape is defined by its complex drainage systems, where the river meets several tributaries and feeds a cluster of small basins including W Shed Lake and E Shed Lake. The transition between Calhoun and Branch counties is clearly marked, illustrating how geopolitical boundaries overlay the natural hydrology of the region.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the distribution of rural burial grounds, such as Riverside Cem near the village and the more isolated Mount Hope Cem to the southeast. To the east, the settlement of South Butler anchors the corner of the map, connected to the larger township via an established grid of country roads like Herricksville Rd and Dayburg Rd, which trace the agricultural development of the area.
