About this map

Vicksburg serves as a primary hub in this landscape where Kalamazoo and St. Joseph counties meet. The village is surrounded by a complex network of glacial kettle lakes and waterways, including the prominent Portage Lake and the meandering Portage River. To the west, Schoolcraft marks the edge of the prairie lands, with the Schoolcraft Township Cem providing a significant point of interest for local genealogy.

Agricultural history is evident in the smaller settlement of Parkville to the south, supported by several rural burying grounds such as Mint Cem and Scott Cem. The terrain is defined by its water features, from the recreational waters of Barton Lake and Kimble Lake to the vital drainage systems of the Goose Lake Drain and Garman Foster Drain, illustrating the region's long-standing relationship between hydrology and land use.
