About this map

New Carlisle serves as a primary hub on this North Central Indiana survey, situated at the intersection of significant transportation routes including the Conrail line and the Chicago South Shore and South Bend railroad. The landscape is defined by its numerous glacial lakes, such as Saugany Lake, Silver Lake, and the expansive Hudson Lake, which supports the small settlements of Hicks and Lake Park. Local history is deeply etched into the rural landscape through family and community landmarks like the Olive Chapel Cem and Teeter Cem.

The industrial character of the era is evident in the scattered Gravel Pits and the proximity of the East-West Toll Road. Educational and religious life are represented by the Township Sch and several country churches, including St Johns Ch and Saukton Ch. The presence of the St Joseph Novitiate and the Sewage Disposal plant near Hillside provide insights into the institutional and infrastructure development of St Joseph Co and La Porte Co during the mid-20th century.
