1963 Map of Cedarville

About this map

Cedar Creek and the St Joseph River dominate this mid-century landscape of Allen County, converging at the town of Cedarville. The early 1960s show a region transitioning from traditional rural farmsteads to suburban residential developments like Brookside Estates and Sunnybrook Acres on the northern outskirts of Fort Wayne. Religious and educational institutions are densely represented, including the Concordia Senior College campus and the Crosier House of Studies, alongside local landmarks like the Izaak Walton League and Camp McMillan. The Cedarville Reservoir and its associated Spillway provide a clear view of the water management infrastructure that shaped local development. Genealogists will find value in the various family-named sites, such as the Schlatter Cemetery and Robinson Chapel, which stand alongside long-established schools like the Shambaugh School.
