Sussex Point: an English county's name on the center-west ground

HARRIS TOWNSHIP · 45 PARCELS

Sussex Point stands in the township's center-west (centroid −86.1411, 41.7511), in sections from Section Two in its legal strings, its interior street Sussex Point Drive in the map record — the plat name and the street name one, the self-contained naming of the wave's planned plats. Its 45 parcels are uniform: a median lot of 0.37 acre over some 18 acres, and a present state as clean as Northfield Village's — every parcel improved in the single-family code, none vacant-classed. The name belongs to the wave's borrowed-England register (Sussex, Windermere, the Berkshires across the township), a vocabulary with no survey or farm root on this ground, which is itself the character evidence: Sussex Point was named at a drafting table, for buyers, in the decades when Granger plats were products. Which table, and when, the open web does not say.

Named gap — Sussex Point's proprietor, builder and recording dates: settler, the St. Joseph County Recorder's plat books (Harris Township books), GAP-NBH-5's settler named for this plat.
