1962 Map of Bass Lake

About this map

Bass Lake serves as the focal point of this northern Indiana landscape, where the transition from a recreation-focused shoreline to an intensive drainage network is clearly visible. Along the water, the lakeside communities of Winona and Bass Lake are supported by the Bass Lake State Beach and the adjacent Bass Lake State Fish Hatchery. The map captures a high level of rural infrastructure designed to manage the low-lying terrain, including an intricate system of named ditches such as Craigmile Ditch and Chesapeake Ditch that feed into the Tippecanoe River.
