1962 Map of Kewanna

About this map

The Tippecanoe River winds through the northeast corner of this Fulton County landscape, where the Old Indian Treaty Bdy cuts a historical diagonal across the township lines. The village of Kewanna serves as a local hub in the south, featuring the Township Sch, an Athletic Field, and the IOOF Cem. Further north, the recreation and transit corridor around Bruce Lake is well-defined, showing the proximity of Bruce Lake Station and the Chesapeake and Ohio rail line. This 1962 survey reveals a complex network of agricultural drainage, with dozens of named channels like Lunsford Ditch and Wolf Ditch reclaiming the prairie for farming. Genealogists will find several burial grounds, including the Moon Cem and Barnett Cem, alongside rural landmarks such as Sharon Ch and Pleasant Hill Ch.
