About this map

Bremen anchors this Marshall County landscape, showing the town's structural evolution through the mid-20th century. The settlement is defined by the east-west corridor of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad and the intersecting Grand Army of the Republic Highway. Local genealogy is well-served by several marked burial grounds, including Bremen Cemetery, Huff Cem, and Ewald Cem, alongside rural houses of worship such as Indiana Chapel and Madison Ch.

Southwest of the town center, Lake of the Woods serves as a prominent natural feature, while the surrounding agricultural land is meticulously divided by an extensive drainage network. Named watercourses like the Yellow River, George Bowser Ditch, and Miami Ditch reveal the engineering required to manage the flat Indiana terrain. This 1958 survey, updated with 1980s photographic revisions, provides a clear view of the transition from traditional rail-side industry to modern road networks like the Plymouth-Goshen Road.
