1963 Map of Cedarville

About this map

The winding course of Cedar Creek and the St Joseph River dominates this northeastern Indiana landscape, where the distinct topography of the Cedar Canyons provides a sharp contrast to the surrounding terrain. In the early 1960s, the area around Cedarville and Leo shows a transition toward suburban growth, evidenced by developments like Sunnybrook Acres and Royal Oaks encroaching on established farmland. The map documents significant institutional footprints, including the sprawling campus of Concordia Senior College and the Crosier House of Studies. Local history is deeply etched into the rural corners, with several family-named landmarks and gathering places such as Viberg Chapel, Robinson Chapel, and the Schlatter Cem providing essential clues for genealogical research in these townships. A notable engineering detail is the Reservoir and its Gaging Station near the center of the quadrangle.
