Contact them at 269-983-7111 ext. 8300. HISTORY Berrien County has received a wide range of accolades. According to American novelist James Fenimore Cooper, Berrien lies in "a region that almost merits the lofty appellation of the Garden of America." A 1718 French official reported, "Tis a spot, the best adopted of any to be seen, for the purpose of living." And John Harner, one of the county's first settlers, wrote in 1834, "it looks pretty good to me; and others are sure to follow." Harner was right. Many did follow, and basing its development on a trinity of fruit, tourism and industry, Berrien County has become one of the state's wealthiest and most populated counties. Located on Lake Michigan in the southwest corner of the state, and bisected by the St. Joseph River, Berrien County has a long history that begins with the earliest explorers of the Great Lakes. Jacques Marquette was the first white man to visit the region. But it was Rene’ Robert Cavelier Sieur de la Salle who had the first real impact.

  • Galien River Watershed Map Gallery
    Southwest Michigan Planning Commission October 2012 GALIEN RIVER WATERSHED MAP GALLERY DATA DESCRIPTIONS All of the original data is simplified to display more efficiently within ArcGIS Online maps which includes the map gallery and other applications. The extent of many of the data sets is limited to the area where the Galien River Watershed is located in Berrien County, Michigan. POTENTIAL CONSERVATION AREAS (PCA) BERRIEN COUNTY Potential Conservation Areas (PCA) are defined as places on the landscape dominated by native vegetation that have various levels of potential for harboring high quality natural areas and unique natural features. In addition these areas may provide critical ecological services such as maintaining water quality and quantity, soil development and stabilization, pollination of cropland, wildlife travel corridors, stopover sites for migratory birds, sources of genetic diversity, and floodwater retention. In the Galien River Watershed very high rankings of PCA are found in Chikaming, New Buffalo, and Three Oaks Townships along the Galien River. It includes 2,683 acres in total size and a core area of 701 acres. Warren Woods State Park and Galien River County Park are both located within this site. Scoring criteria used to prioritize the sites included: total size, size of core area, length of stream corridor, landscape connectivity, restorability of surrounding land, vegetation quality, and biological rarity score. For a full description of the process used to select Pontential Conservation Areas (PCA), view the report, Berrien, Cass, and Van Buren Counties Potential Conservation Areas, Providing Ecological Information For a Green Infrastructure Plan The ranking data can be used by local municipalities, land trusts, watershed councils, and other agencies to prioritize conservation efforts and assist in finding opportunities to establish an open space system of linked natural areas in the region.

  • The Galien River Watershed Is Located in Southwestern Michigan and Northwestern Indiana
    Fact Sheet Volume 1 June, 2010 The Galien River Watershed is located in Southwestern Michigan and Northwestern Indiana. The portion of the watershed located in Michigan is approximately 82,200 acres, all located in Berrien County and emptying into Lake Michigan in New Buffalo. Land use in the Michigan area of the watershed is 62% rural and agriculture, 23% forest, and 5% urban, with the remainder lakes, streams and wetlands. Since presettlement times the W atershed has lost 52% of its original wetlands. Wetlands are crucial to watershed health. Forming the boundary between the uplands and open water, wetlands store excess water, reduce flooding downstream, act as a filter for sediment and other pollutants, help to control erosion, provide habitat for a diverse collection of plants and animals and, in turn, are great places for recreation and scenic enjoyment. Buffer Map Southwest Michigan Planning Commission created a buffer map (pictured at left) for the watershed showing the land use cover within 100 feet of the waterways. The green indicates areas with natural vegetation along the river while the yellow indicates agricultural areas having little vegetation along the river. Having a strip of vegetation along the river can greatly reduce the erosion of the banks and the amount of sediment being washed from the fields into the river. The photo below shows spring flood water flowing directly into the drainage ditch. Riparian Buffers Buffers are strips of land planted to Residential settings can use permanent vegetation between buffers for the same purposes. You can buffer your home by not developed land and open water.

A CURIOUS INCIDENT by Andrew Tallackson With plans in motion for a family reunion, David Krogh thought it best to sift through a tattered box of old slides his father accumulated over the years. A bound volume of prints forged from those bygone family photos might be something relatives arriving later that summer would enjoy. Each individual container of slides, the colors dulled and aged by time, was marked in handwritten scrawl. Summer. Graduation. Christmas. One particular collection seized his attention. Airplane. 7/65. Intrigued, David had the bulb to his father’s old slide projector replaced. Now set to view his discovery, he dimmed the lights. The projector hummed to life and im- ages from the past appeared before him.
