1959 Map of Hamilton

About this map

Hamilton Lake serves as the central hub for this northeast Indiana landscape, its intricate shoreline dotted with lakeside developments like Forest Park, Oakwood, and Circle Park. This 1959 revision illustrates a region shaped by post-war recreation and deep-rooted agricultural settlement at the border of Steuben and DeKalb Counties. To the north and west, the terrain is defined by a dense network of glacial water bodies and drainage ditches, including Johnson Lake, Ball Lake, and the winding Pigeon Creek.
