About this map

Milford and the rail hub at Milford Junction anchor this topographic survey of northern Indiana, where the Baltimore and Ohio Road and Conrail lines intersect to define the local economy. The landscape is a network of drainage infrastructure, with Dausman Ditch, Whetten Ditch, and Kieffer Ditch channelizing the terrain around Turkey Creek. This edition captures the expansion of Syracuse near the eastern margin and the residential clusters at Shady Banks on the shores of Wabee Lake.

Local history is preserved in rural markers such as Bethany Sch, Maple Grove Ch, and several well-spaced burial grounds including Milford Cem and Tamarack Cem. In the southeast, the area around Dewart Lake shows established recreation sites like Camp Alexander Mack and Redmon Park. The map also documents industrial activity through numerous Gravel Pits scattered between the township lines of Van Buren and Turkey Creek.
