About this map

Potato Creek State Park anchors the southwestern portion of this Saint Joseph County landscape, surrounding the significant waters of Worster Lake. The terrain here is defined by a dense network of drainage systems, including Schang Ditch, Eberly Ditch, and Weston Ditch, which navigate the glacial depressions that characterize this part of Indiana. To the north, the urban fringe of South Bend begins to transition into smaller communities like Nutwood and Colburn, as well as the established town of Lakeville at the intersection of several historic roads.

Genealogists will find a high concentration of burial sites throughout the quadrangle, from the northern Southlawn Cem near Gilmer Park to the more rural Porter Cem and Sumption Prairie Cem. The presence of Riddles Lake, Pleasant Lake, and Dipper Lake in the southeast suggests the varied hydrography of the region, while landmarks like Reeves Hill and Vargo Hill provide relief in an area otherwise dominated by agriculture and managed wetlands.
