About this map

The St Joseph River anchors this 1992 revision of the South Bend area, winding through the industrial and residential hearts of South Bend and Mishawaka. In the northwest, the extensive campus of the University Of Notre Dame stands out prominently, flanked by St Josephs Lake and St Marys Lake. The map reveals the post-war suburban expansion of St. Joseph County, showing established neighborhoods like Indian Village and Maple Lane alongside newer developments identified in purple revision overlays.

Tracing the river's path reveals a legacy of public space and infrastructure, from Battell Park and Kamm Island Park to the corridors of the Conrail railroad and the Indiana Toll Road. For genealogists and local historians, the sheet is a dense directory of the community's social fabric, documenting dozens of neighborhood schools such as Swanson Highlands Sch and Tarkington Sch, alongside prominent landmarks like St Josephs Hospital and the St Joseph Valley Memorial Park (Cemetery).
