2022 Map of South Bend West

About this map

The Saint Joseph River anchors the northeastern portion of this study, winding past Roseland and the historic campuses of Saint Mary's College and Holy Cross College. This landscape showcases the dense urban expansion of South Bend as it reaches westward toward the South Bend International Airport and the smaller outskirts of Ardmore. The map documents a significant concentration of local heritage sites, including the Saint Joseph County Courthouse and several prominent burial grounds such as Riverview Cem and Highland Cem. To the west, the terrain transitions into a series of glacial depressions, forming the Chain Lakes system and the Chamberlain Lake area. Notable genealogy landmarks are scattered throughout the rural-urban fringe, from the Hungarian Sacred Heart Cem to the settlement of Lydick, reflecting the varied community development patterns that define St. Joseph County in the early twenty-first century.
