EXPLANATION

This index is an alphabetical listing of all property owners, businesses, villages, churches, cemeteries, etc., which appeared on the original 1858 wall map for St. Joseph County, Michigan, published by Geil, Harley & Siverd.

Most listings are followed by a code which stands for the township and section number in which it appears on the map; village codes do not include section numbers. A section number followed by a W (West) indicates that there is more than one of the same section numbers within that section.

Bordering the original wall map are photographs of residences and businesses of the time and a business directory. These have been included in the index, beginning on page 52.
