About this map

Lake Wawasee dominates this landscape in Kosciusko County, serving as the central hub for a network of residential developments and historic points of interest. The northern shores are anchored by Syracuse, where the street grid transitions into the specialized lakeside communities of Oakwood Park and Pickwick Park. The map documents a high density of named shoreline features, including Johnson Bay, Conklin Bay, and Buttermilk Point, illustrating the intensive development of this glacial lake region by the early 21st century.

Away from the water, the terrain is defined by a complex system of agricultural drainage and small rural settlements. Features such as Zollinger Strip and Sugar Hill contrast with the dense recreational housing at Enchanted Hills and Marineland Gardens. Several local burying grounds, including McClintic Cem and Hire Cem, are preserved among the fields, providing essential data points for genealogical research in this part of northern Indiana.
