About this map

Lake Maxinkuckee serves as the focal point of this Northern Indiana landscape, its eastern shoreline defined by the prominent Culver Military Academy and its Airport. To the west, the town of Culver transitions into a grid of agricultural land and drainage systems, including Lowry Ditch and Hawkins Ditch. The map reveals the intersection of two major rail lines, the Pennsylvania and the Erie-Lackawanna, which facilitated the transport and travel of the mid-20th century.

South of the lake, the Tippecanoe River meanders through the townships of Aubbeenaubbee and Tippecanoe, passing the village of Monterey. Traces of the region's earlier history are visible in the Old Indian Treaty Boundary line that cuts across the terrain near Washington Cem. Scattered rural landmarks, from the Purdue Experimental Station to various family cemeteries like Cromley Cem, provide significant detail for those studying the genealogical and institutional history of Marshall and Pulaski counties.
