1961 Map of Lake Wawasee

USGS Topo · Published 1982

About this map

Lake Wawasee dominates the landscape of this Kosciusko County region, shown here during its mid-century development as a premier lakeside destination. The shoreline is densely populated with distinct communities and resorts, including Syracuse, Pickwick Park, and Enchanted Hills. The mapping records a transition in the local economy and culture, where traditional landmarks like Juday Sch and the Hire Cem sit alongside more modern recreational additions like the Maxwelton Golf Club and the Wawasee State Fish Hatchery. The eastern shore features the prominent Our Lady of the Lake Seminary and the Church of the Little Flower, while the sprawling waters of Conklin Bay and Johnson Bay are defined by named landforms such as Ogden Island and Cedar Point. This survey captures the area just as the Conrail lines and the Baltimore And Ohio Road continued to facilitate the growth of the region's prominent summer colonies.
