About this map

Bass Lake dominates this Northern Indiana landscape, its waters framed by the small settlements of Winona, Bass Station, and the Bass Lake State Beach. The lake's irregular shoreline is defined by named points such as Cedar Point and Gull Point, while the surrounding flatlands are etched with an intricate network of drainage systems like Castleman Ditch and James Ditch. These man-made channels tell the story of a region converted from wetlands into productive agricultural territory.

Further south, the Tippecanoe River meanders in tight oxbows toward Beardstown, providing a sharp contrast to the rigid grid of rural roads and drainage arms. This 2010 survey highlights the community centers of Ora and its namesake Ora Cemetery, alongside aviation landmarks like Wheeler Airport and Bennett Strip Airport. The intersection of recreation at the lake and the established farming hamlets along the river corridor characterizes this portion of Pulaski and Starke Counties.
