About this map

The Indiana East-West Toll Road cuts a modern path through this glacial landscape in northeastern Steuben County, where numerous small lakes and marshes define the terrain. To the north, Fremont serves as a central hub, while the northern edge of Angola anchors the southern portion of the sheet. The area is dense with community markers from an earlier era, including rural education sites like Scott Center Sch and several country churches such as Jones Chapel and North Scott Ch.

Genealogical researchers will find a significant concentration of burial grounds, from Circle Hill Cem in the south to Lakeside Cem and Jordan Cem further north. The landscape's hydrology is complex, featuring Pigeon Creek and drainage systems like Ryan Ditch and Eatinger Ditch, which support the agricultural tracts between the many water bodies like Cedar Lake and the Seven Sisters Lakes. Mid-century leisure culture is also visible through the Drive-in Theater and local Public Fishing Site.
