2019 Map of Three Oaks

About this map

Three Oaks and Galien anchor this landscape along the Michigan-Indiana border, where the terrain is defined by the winding course of the Galien River and the broad Elm Valley. The area is marked by a dense network of local routes such as W Warren Woods Rd and W Olive Branch Rd, reflecting a well-established agricultural and rural residential pattern. For those exploring local history, the map provides precise locations for several small burial sites, including the Germinder and Ward Graves and Swem Grave, which offer more localized genealogical data than the larger Riverside Cem or Forest Lawn Cem. Aviation history is noted at Benedick Airport, while several water bodies like Lake Louise, Klutes Lakes, and Davidson Lake suggest the glacial character of the region. The boundary between Berrien County, Michigan, and Laporte County, Indiana, cuts through the southern portion of the sheet, illustrating how state lines intersect with these local communities.
