About this map

The Tippecanoe River winds through this landscape on the border of Noble and Whitley Counties, anchoring a region defined by its dense concentration of glacial lakes. Small rural settlements like Ormas and Etna serve as local hubs, while the surrounding countryside is dotted with family-named landmarks and water bodies such as Knapp Lake, Smalley Lake, and Bear Lake.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the distribution of pioneer burial grounds throughout the townships, including Broadway Cem, Wolflake Cem, and Kiester Cem. The map detail preserves the exact road network and township boundaries, including t33n r8e and t33n r9e, illustrating the agricultural and residential patterns of this lake-strewn portion of Northern Indiana during the early twenty-first century.
