Rivers & Watersheds

Most of Van Buren County is contained within three major watersheds: the Paw Paw River, which drains almost two-thirds of the county; the Dowagiac River, flowing southwesterly into Cass County; and the Black River, which drains the northwestern portion of the county near the City of South Haven. The Paw Paw River and the Dowagiac River Watersheds are part of the larger St. Joseph River Watershed. Click to see a map of the Major Watersheds in Van Buren County
