2017 Map of Three Oaks

About this map

The village of Three Oaks and the surrounding Berrien County landscape are defined by the winding course of the Galien River as it makes its way toward Lake Michigan. This modern survey shows a region where rural agriculture meets lakeside communities, including Shorewood-Tower Hills-Harbert and New Troy. Genealogists will find significant detail in the mapping of local burial sites, such as Riverside Cem, Forest Lawn Cem, and Shedd Cem, along with specific family markers like the Germinder and Ward Graves and the Swem Grave near the eastern edge of the quadrangle. The terrain is dotted with small bodies of water like Klutes Lakes, Davidson Lake, and Speer Lake, while Benedick Airport serves as a local aviation landmark. A clear boundary line marks the southern border where Berrien County meets Laporte and St. Joseph Counties at the Michigan Indiana state line.
