About this map

Rochester serves as the focal point of this northern Indiana landscape, where the town's street grid, including Main St and Wabash Ave, meets the western shore of Lake Manitou. The map highlights a complex drainage network characterized by numerous named channels like Smith Ditch and Whitenberger Ditch, which crisscross the agricultural land surrounding the Tippecanoe River. This 1990s revision reveals the town's civic infrastructure, from the Courthouse and City Hall to the Fulton County Airport and the local Fairgrounds.

Genealogists will find several burial sites preserved here, such as Sand Hill Cem to the north and the Old Shelton Cem further south. The Erie Railroad corridor remains a prominent industrial feature, passing near the Menominee State Fishing Area and through the small settlement of Athens. Further south, Mt Zion Millpond and its adjacent Mt Zion Cem mark a quiet rural corner, while the presence of various Gravel Pits suggests the region's ongoing local resource extraction.
