1916 Map of Three Rivers
USGS Topo · Published 1916About this map
St Joseph River and its major tributaries, including the Rocky River, Portage River, and Prairie River, converge in this early 20th-century survey of St. Joseph County. The landscape is defined by its complex hydrography, featuring the Sturgis Power Dam and a dense network of glacial lakes like Klinger Lake and Corey Lake. The New York Central railroad lines weave through established centers like Three Rivers and Centerville, illustrating a region transitioning from its pioneer agricultural roots toward early industrial power generation. Local history and genealogy interest is concentrated in the high density of rural schoolhouses, such as Peck Academy and the Quaker Street School, along with landmarks like the Chicago Road and the Brick Chapel near Constantine.
