About this map

Bakerstown and the surrounding rural townships of Jefferson and Green define this mid-century landscape in Indiana's lake country. The terrain is dotted with small kettle lakes and wetlands, including the cluster of Finster Lakes, Summit Lake, and McHenry Lake. Agricultural life is anchored by numerous local institutions, from the Sacred Heart Home in the northeast to several country churches like Rehoboth Ch and Sugar Grove Ch.

Industrial and transportation infrastructure is concentrated along the rail corridors, with the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad cutting across the northern sections and the Pennsylvania line passing through the south near the Blue River. Genealogists will find a wealth of family-named landmarks and burial sites, such as Hooper Cem, Grays Cem, and Fulk Cem, which reflect the established settlement patterns of Noble and Whitley counties during this era.
