2016 Map of Bass Lake

About this map

Bass Lake dominates the northern half of this landscape, its shoreline defined by Winona, Cranberry Point, and Bass Lake State Beach. The surrounding terrain is heavily influenced by a complex network of agricultural drainage, including the Craigmile Ditch and Marks Ditch. To the south, the Tippecanoe River meanders through the boundary between Starke and Pulaski counties, passing near the small settlements of Ora and Beardstown. This survey captures a transitional area where lake-front recreation meets a managed river valley. Genealogists may find value in the locations of the North Bend Cem and Ora Cem, while aviation history is represented by Wheeler Airport and the Van de Mark Airport further north. The map also traces the local road system, from S State Rd 10 to the grid of rural county roads like Co Rd W 600 N that cross the river bottoms.
