About this map

Glacial lakes and intricate drainage networks define this portion of Steuben County, where the city of Angola and the town of Fremont serve as the primary hubs of settlement. The landscape is characterized by a high density of small water bodies, including the Seven Sisters Lakes, Lake Minfenokee, and Marsh Lake, which are linked by man-made and natural waterways such as Metz Ditch and Pigeon Cr. This 2016 survey captures a transition in land use, from the residential blocks of the county seat to the outlying rural communities of Ellis and Berlien.

Genealogists will find several small burial grounds scattered across the terrain, notably Jordan Cem, Jones Cem, and Kope Cem, which mark the history of earlier farming families in the region. The map also documents local infrastructure such as Pigeon Airport and several named residential areas like Lakeside, providing a detailed view of the county's modern development pattern amidst its historical agricultural and lacustrine roots.
