USGS Topo · Published 1973About this map
The tri-state convergence of Indiana, Michigan, and Ohio is anchored by Fort Wayne, a critical rail and river hub during the mid-20th century. The landscape is defined by its industrial and military footprint, notably the Casad Ordnance Depot and an extensive network of railroads including the Baltimore and Ohio and New York Central. These lines connect manufacturing centers like Elkhart and Defiance across a terrain marked by glacial remnants such as the Irish Hills and prominent water bodies like Lake Wawasee.
