2019 Map of South Bend West

About this map

South Bend and its western outskirts are defined here by a dense network of transportation and academic institutions near the Saint Joseph River. The campus of Saint Marys College sits just north of the city in Roseland, while the expansive South Bend International Airport dominates the central landscape. The surrounding area preserves a history of local community through numerous burial grounds, including the Hungarian Sacred Heart Cem and Saint Josephs Cem, which reflect the area's diverse ethnic heritage. To the west, the topography opens into a series of interconnected water bodies such as Chain-O-Lakes, North Chain Lake, and Chamberlain Lake. Small unincorporated communities like Ardmore, Lydick, and Westfield are connected by major historical corridors such as Lincolnway W and the Crumstown Hwy, illustrating the transition from urban centers to the rural fringes of Saint Joseph County.
