2019 Map of Lucerne

About this map

The Wabash River flows across the southern portion of this landscape, anchoring a region defined by extensive drainage systems and scattered agricultural settlements. In the northern reaches, small communities like Lucerne and Royal Center serve as local hubs, connected by a network of county roads and the rail corridor identified as the Pulaski/Cass Co line S to Kenneth. The map reveals a highly managed hydrologic environment, with numerous man-made channels such as McNitt Ditch, Rollhausen Ditch, and Forgey Ditch that redirect water into Crooked Cr. For genealogists, the map identifies several distinct burial grounds, including Saint Elizabeth Cem and Grant Cem, which often represent the earliest established families of the area. The southern edge approaches the outskirts of Logansport, transitioning from rural sections like Dunkirk and Kenneth toward more dense urban street grids.
