About this map

Silver Lake serves as a central hub in this northern Indiana landscape, where glacial geology has created a dense network of lakes and marshes. The map documents the town's position between North Little Lake and South Little Lake, with the Lakeview Cem overlooking the eastern shoreline. To the north, the village of Claypool marks the upper boundary of the survey, while the small settlement of Disko is located at the southern edge where Fulton Co and Wabash Co meet.

Agricultural drainage systems are prominent features of the terrain, with numerous man-made channels like Merrit Ditch, Eaton Ditch, and Silveus Ditch crisscrossing the till plains to manage the high water table. These waterways connect larger bodies such as Yellow Creek Lake, Beaver Dam Lake, and Hill Lake. For genealogists, the map identifies several rural burial grounds, including Fairview Cem, Germantown Cem, and Franklin Cem, providing precise locations for historical research.
