About this map

Lake Maxinkuckee dominates this landscape, its shoreline shaped by the presence of the Culver Military Academy and the village of Culver. The 1962 topography, updated with revisions from the late 1970s, reveals a complex water system including Lost Lake, Houghton Lake, and several smaller basins like Hartz Lake and Langenbaum Lake that pockmark the glacial terrain.

Further south, the Tippecanoe River winds through the townships of Aubbeenaubbee and Tippecanoe, passing the riverside settlements of Monterey and Delong. The map is particularly rich for local history, documenting numerous country cemeteries such as Cromley Cem and Cem Monesmith, as well as institutional landmarks like the Purdue Experimental Station. The grid of county roads, including West 18th Road, connects these agricultural and academic outposts across the Marshall and Fulton county lines.
