2019 Map of Bass Lake

About this map

Bass Lake and its surrounding wetlands anchor this recent survey of the boundary between Starke and Pulaski Counties. The shoreline is densely developed with residential roads such as E Manor Dr and E Woodland Dr, contrasting with the recreational grounds of Bass Lake State Beach at Gull Point. To the south, the Tippecanoe River meanders through a landscape defined by an extensive network of drainage infrastructure, including Castleman Ditch and Griner Ditch. Small settlements like Beardstown and Ora serve as local hubs for the surrounding agricultural tracts. Notable landmarks such as Pigeon Roost Hill and local airfields like Wheeler Airport provide fixed points of interest in a region historically shaped by its proximity to water and the conversion of marshlands into productive farmland.
