About this map

Chain O'Lakes State Park dominates the northwest quadrant of this 1965 survey, showcasing a dense cluster of kettle lakes including Long Lake, Bowen Lake, and Sucker Lake. The surrounding Noble and Whitley County countryside is defined by an intricate network of agricultural drainage ditches and small rural settlements like Green Center and Bakertown. Local history and genealogy are well-represented through numerous landmark churches and cemeteries, such as Charter Oak Ch and the Rehoboth Cem Ch.

The infrastructure of the mid-1960s is preserved through the presence of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Grade and the Old Railroad Grade, tracing former transportation corridors through the landscape. Near the settlement of Ege, the Sacred Heart Home and Hopewell Ch serve as significant local landmarks. The natural hydrology is centered on the Blue River and Willow Creek, which wind through the township boundaries of Jefferson, Swan, and Smith.
