1962 Map of Leesburg

About this map

Leesburg and the surrounding glacial lake country of northern Indiana are captured here during a period of significant recreational development and established agricultural patterns. The landscape is defined by its water, from the sprawling reach of Tippecanoe Lake and Big Chapman Lake to the meandering Tippecanoe River. This era shows a transition toward seasonal lakeside living, evidenced by numerous named subdivisions and parks like Quaker Haven Park, Wa-Will-Away Park, and Musquabuck Park lining the shores.
