Due to the [[Lake Michigan]] shoreline on the northwest and the [[Indiana]] border to the south, New Buffalo Township has an irregular triangle shape and is one of the smallest townships in Michigan. Most [[survey township]]s are {{convert|36|sqmi|km2}}. However, the townships along the Michigan side of the Indiana border are truncated so that they are only {{convert|6|mi|0}} wide by about {{convert|3.5|mi}} tall. The village of [[Michiana, Michigan|Michiana]] within New Buffalo Township consists of the partial section 24 of survey township T8S R22E, the westernmost portion of the [[Lower Peninsula of Michigan]]. The rest of the township consists of the several partial and whole sections of T8S R21E as well as the western row of sections from T8S R20E, section 31 of T7S R20E, and section 35 and 36 of T7S R21E.
