About this map

The boundary between Steuben County and DeKalb County divides this landscape of glacial lakes and small towns in northeastern Indiana. Ashley and Hudson sit at the southern edge of a region defined by complex hydrography, where Pigeon Creek and Johnson Ditch drain a terrain dotted with water bodies like Hogback Lake, Golden Lake, and Fox Lake. The settlement patterns here remain closely tied to these waters, with Pleasant Lake and Moonlight situated near their namesake features.

Genealogists and local historians will find numerous family and community landmarks, including the Mount Zion, Trinity, and Barkers Chapel cemeteries. The transportation network is a grid of county roads such as W Lake Valley Rd and S Fanning Rd, intersected by the modern corridor of Interstate 69. This record of the mid-2010s shows the enduring character of the rural landscape around Steubenville and Summit.
