1962 Map of North Webster

About this map

Webster Lake and the Big Barbee Lake chain dominate this mid-century survey of the Indiana lake country. The landscape is defined by its glacial hydrology, with a dense network of water bodies including Sechrist Lake, Irish Lake, and Kuhn Lake connected by the Tippecanoe River. Settlement is concentrated around these shores at North Webster and Epworth Forest, while the surrounding rural townships of Tippecanoe and Washington maintain an agricultural character. The map captures a high concentration of recreational and community landmarks from the early 1960s, such as the Drive-in Theater, Spring Roadside Park, and several youth camps including Camp Crosley and Camp Tippecanoe. For genealogists, the sheet preserves the locations of numerous family and community burial grounds like Mock Cem and Oak Grove Cem, alongside local congregations at Salem Ch and Morris Chapel.
