1956 Map of Cedarville

About this map

Cedarville Reservoir and the St Joseph River dominate this mid-century landscape northeast of Fort Wayne, marking a period of significant local infrastructure and institutional growth. The community of Leo serves as a northern anchor, featuring a Twp High Sch and multiple cemeteries, while Cedarville sits at the southern edge of the reservoir. Educational and religious institutions are prominent throughout the area, including Sr Concordia College and the Sacred Heart Seminaries in the southwest. The terrain is defined by a dense network of drainage projects such as Warner Ditch and Alex Ditch, supporting the agricultural character of Perry and Cedar townships. Evidence of earlier water management remains visible in the St Joe Canal, while modern utilities are represented by a Radio Tower and Substation near Bouries.
