1958 Map of New Carlisle

About this map

Hudson Lake and its surrounding communities anchor this mid-century portrait of the Indiana and Michigan borderland. The landscape is defined by a dense network of glacial lakes and wetlands, including Saugany Lake and Silver Lake, set against a backdrop of emerging suburban development and established agricultural tracts. Transport infrastructure dominates the southern half of the sheet, where the New York Central railroad and the Toll Road cut across the townships of Galena, Hudson, Olive, and Kankakee.
