2016 Map of Lucerne

About this map

The Wabash River meanders across the southern portion of this region, providing a natural southern boundary for the burgeoning city of Logansport. North of the river, the landscape is defined by an intricate network of drainage systems, including Umbenhour Ditch, Miller Ditch, and McNitt Ditch, which support the agricultural productivity of Cass County. This 2016 survey illustrates the persistent rural character of North Central Indiana, where small settlements like Lucerne and Kenneth are linked by long-established thoroughfares such as Royal Center Pike. Genealogists will find a wealth of data in the numerous family and community burial sites scattered across the townships, from Cline Cem in the northwest to East Sand Ridge Cem in the east. The intersection of rail history and river geography is evident near the town of Royal Center, revealing how transport patterns shaped these prairie communities.
