About this map

The agricultural landscape of northern Indiana is defined here by an intricate network of drainage ditches and glaciated lakes. Milford and Syracuse serve as the primary hubs, while the community of Shady Banks sits along the northern shore of Waubee Lake. The rail infrastructure of the Norfolk Southern passes through Milford Junction, underscoring the area's historical reliance on transport to move local yields.

Genealogists and local historians can locate several final resting places including Milford Cem, Lakeside Cem, and Tamarack Cem. The map reveals the low-lying topography of the region through numerous waterways like Turkey Creek, Hoopingarner Ditch, and Whetten Ditch, which drain the flatlands surrounding Buzzard Hill. Aviation history is represented by the H R Weisser Airport located just north of the Milford town center.
