About this map

The historic prairie and marshlands of St. Joseph County are visible in this 2010 survey, where old travel routes like the Chicago Trl and Hamilton Trl intersect with modern infrastructure. The landscape is dotted with small, historically significant settlements including Olive, Lydick, and Terre Coupee, reflecting the region's agricultural roots and the gradual expansion from nearby population centers. To the east, the Chain-O-Lakes area and Twin Lakes suggest the glacial origins of the local topography.

Water management is a defining feature of the area, as seen in the extensive network of drainage projects such as Geyer Ditch and the Chain-O-Lakes Ditch. These man-made channels support the farming economy that surrounds landmarks like Hustons Airport and the crossroads at Hubbard. The map provides a clear record of property boundaries and local road names—such as Snowberry Rd and Elderberry Rd—that are vital for tracing family land and the evolution of the Westfield and Crumstown communities.
