About this map

St. John and Schererville anchor this detailed landscape in Lake County, where residential development intermingles with an intricate network of drainage ditches and small lakes. The map reveals a dense concentration of memorial sites, including the Hack Family Cem and Saint John Cem, which provide significant points of interest for genealogical research in this portion of Indiana.

Water management is central to the area's layout, defined by features like Dyer Ditch, Main Beaver Dam Ditch, and Foss Ditch that cut through the terrain. The presence of Cedar Lake at the southern edge and various smaller bodies like Bingo Lake and Hermit Lake illustrates the natural hydrology that influenced the growth of neighboring communities such as Dyer, Crown Point, and the newer Rolling Hill Estates.
