The baseline and meridian of Public Land Survey System (PLSS) have had a lasting impact on what we see on the Michigan landscape. Beginning in 1815, these two lines were drawn to generate a grid work of about 1700 townships in Michigan and Ohio. The baseline is used to delineate towns (T) north (N) and south (S) while the Michigan Meridian measures ranges(R) east (E) and west (W). As a result, each township has a unique designation such as, T19N; R15W, Michigan Meridian. Over a thirty-nine-year time period, the deputy surveyors changed the cultural landscape of Michigan forever. Property descriptions, roads, lakes and place names are some of the results of the legacy of these two lines. Morris O Thomas, retired Professor of Geography, Environment and Spatial Sciences at Michigan State University will present his program by Zoom.

By Peter Cook
On the morning of February 21, 1925, two Millburg State Bank employees prepared for what they thought would be a routine Saturday. However, their first customers were anything but ordinary. Dressed in trench coats, a group of armed men forced the tellers into the back closet and looted the bank. While the robbery only lasted a few minutes, the subsequent car chase, manhunt, and trial would long be remembered as one of Southwest Michigan’s most dramatic crimes of the 1920s. Peter Cook, the Director of Programs & Outreach at the North Berrien Historical Museum in Coloma, will present the Great Millburg Bank Robbery and its aftermath in all its exciting detail.
