2010 Map of Lorane

About this map

Lorane sits at the heart of this Whitley County landscape, where a dense network of agricultural ditches and small glacial lakes defines the rural character of northern Indiana. This 2010 survey details the intricate water management system necessary for the region's farming, featuring named waterways such as McDonald Cunningham Ditch and Sattison Ditch. The map reveals the early 21st-century footprint of Larwill to the west and the western fringes of Columbia City to the east, connected by the historical corridor of Old Trail Rd and Bus 30 W. Genealogists will find several burial grounds preserved in the landscape, including Bethel Cemetery and Adams Cemetery. Distinctive landmarks like Motherwell Airport and the cluster of water bodies including Troy Cedar Lake, Wilson Lake, and Ice House Lake highlight the mix of private aviation and recreational water use that characterizes this part of the state.
