About this map

Green Lake dominates this landscape, its deep waters and indented shoreline defining the local recreation and settlement patterns. Along the northern shore, the city of Green Lake is a hub for community life, featuring the Fairground, Tuscumbia Country Club, and several waterfront parks including Hattie Sherwood Park. The map captures the transition from lakeside residences at Terrace Beach and Arcade Acres to the surrounding agricultural uplands.

Further inland, the landscape is dotted with smaller crossroads and family landmarks such as Center House and Roy. Traces of the region's spiritual and civic history are preserved in numerous burial grounds, from Bluffton Cem in the north to the Lakeview Cem near Indian Hills. Transportation is anchored by the Chicago and North Western rail line, which follows the path of the Puchyan River as it winds through the township of Brooklyn.
