1943 Map of Three Rivers
USGS Topo · Published 1943About this map
St Joseph River and its major tributaries, including the Portage River and Prairie River, define the landscape of this St. Joseph County region during the early 1940s. The convergence of three rivers at the town of Three Rivers showcases a complex rail hub where the New York Central and Michigan Central lines intersect. The map documents a dense network of over two dozen rural one-room schoolhouses, such as Johnnycake Sch, Schock Sch, and Heimbach Sch, providing a detailed look at the pre-consolidation educational landscape. To the south, the recreational character of Klinger Lake is evident with established shoreline developments at Breezy Beach, Bluff Beach, and Oakwood. Infrastructure of the era is represented by the Sturgis Power Dam on the St. Joseph River and several local government centers including the Town Hall in Lockport.
