2013 Map of South Bend West

About this map

The Saint Joseph River anchors the eastern edge of this landscape, winding past the community of Roseland and the recreational waters of Pinhook Lake. This 2013 survey captures the suburban and industrial expansion west of the city center, where the South Bend Airport serves as a major regional hub. The map details the transition from dense residential blocks in Ardmore to the more open spaces of the west, characterized by a network of drainage features like the Dixon W Place Ditch and Authen Ditch. Local recreation and transit are prominent, from the South Bend Motor Speedway to the Chain-O-Lakes Airport, nestled near a string of water bodies including North Chain Lake and South Chain Lake. For researchers, the map provides a precise look at the early 21st-century infrastructure of St. Joseph County.
