About this map

Port Mitchell and Wolflake anchor a landscape defined by an intricate network of glacial lakes and managed drainage in this corner of Northeast Indiana. The hydrology of the region is highly developed, with the Br Elkhart River feeding into a chain of basins including Port Mitchell Lake, Bartley Lake, and Bass Lake. This 2019 survey shows the persistence of small rural settlements like Burr Oak and Merriam, connected by the historic corridor of Lincolnway S.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant detail in the placement of the Stanford Cem and Christian Chapel Cem, while the inclusion of the Stangland Airport and Shaffer Airport highlights the area's modern infrastructure. The boundary between Noble Co and Whitley Co cuts through the southern portion of the map, notably bisecting the area near Crooked Lake and the community of Tri-Lakes.
