2019 Map of Oliver Lake

About this map

The glacial lakes and marshy headwaters of the North Branch Elkhart River dominate this portion of Northeastern Indiana. The landscape is defined by its complex hydrography, featuring large bodies like Oliver Lake, Witmer Lake, and Dallas Lake, alongside smaller, tucked-away features such as Pond Lil and Smith Hole. The boundary between Lagrange and Noble counties bisects the southern half of the map, where the settlement of Wolcottville straddles the line. Genealogists will find a high concentration of burial grounds throughout the rural townships, including Osborn Cem, Sloan Cem, and Beulah Cem. The presence of the Delt Church Park Trail suggests a focus on modern recreational conservation within this traditional wetland and agricultural corridor. Small lakeside communities like Webers Landing and Witmer Manor illustrate the localized development clustered around the regional water systems.
