About this map

Lakeville sits at the heart of this Southern St. Joseph County landscape, where the agrarian history of Northern Indiana meets the expanding outskirts of South Bend. This 2010 survey records a transition from the dense residential grid of Gilmer Park to the open fields and drainage networks like Authen Ditch and Shideler Hoffman Ditch. To the west, the Potato Creek Reservoir Dam controls the waters of Worster Lake, a significant local landmark that contrasts with the smaller natural basins of Wharton Lake and Catfish Lake.

Genealogists will find a wealth of data in the numerous burial grounds documented here, including Sumption Prairie Cemetery, Southlawn Cemetery, and Porter Cemetery. The map also captures several named elevations, such as Reeves Hill and Vargo Hill, and smaller clusters like Nutwood and Colburn. The network of local roads, such as Peach Rd and Quinn Rd, reveals the enduring section-line organization of the region's rural development.
