1961 Map of Nottawa

USGS Topo · Published 1982

About this map

St Joseph River meanders through the northwest corner of this St. Joseph County landscape, anchoring a region defined by its diverse glacial water bodies and drainage systems. Revisions from 1981, shown in purple, highlight the emergence of Lake Templene, a significant reservoir that reshaped the southern portion of the quadrangle near the Prairie River. The junction at Wasepi serves as a historical point of interest where the Conrail rail lines intersect, reflecting the era's transportation network connecting the smaller settlements of Nottawa and Colon. Local community life is evidenced by well-distributed landmarks, from the Nottawa Community School to various rural burial grounds like Laird Cem and Pioneer Cem. The presence of numerous Gravel Pits and Marl Pits throughout the townships of Mendon and Leonidas points to the local extractive industries that supported regional road and farm development during the mid-20th century.
