About this map

The Saint Joseph River and its tributaries define the landscape of central Saint Joseph County on the eve of the 2010s. The convergence of the Portage River and the Saint Joseph occurs near the eastern edge of Three Rivers, where the Riverside Cemetery and Three Rivers Municipal/Doctor Haines Airport mark the transition from urban to rural space. This map provides a detailed view of the regional infrastructure, including the Langley Covered Bridge and Davis Bridge, which cross the meandering river systems that historically drove the area's development.

Further east, the village of Centreville sits as the county seat, anchored by the Saint Joseph County Fairgrounds and the Centreville Post Office. The map is particularly useful for genealogists, as it documents several burial sites including the Amish Cemetery, Culbertson Cemetery, and the Centreville Village Cemetery. The intricate hydrography, featuring Fishers Lake, Noah Lake, and the winding Prairie River, illustrates the water-rich geography of southern Michigan.
