About this map

Springville and the northern reaches of La Porte anchor this landscape, where the agricultural plains of northern Indiana are bisected by the modern corridor of the Indiana Toll Rd. The map reveals a transition between the established city grid of La Porte and the scattered rural settlements of Lalimere and Smith. Waterways define the local topography, with the Galena River winding through the northwest and the Little Kankakee River draining the southeastern sector.

Local history and genealogy researchers can find several notable burial grounds, including the Shippeeburg Cemetery, Rossburg Cemetery, and the Pine Lake Cemetery situated near the cluster of lakes at the edge of town. These sites, along with the Quaker Cemetery and Griffin Cemetery, provide a framework for tracing early family settlements across the township. The landscape is also marked by numerous glacial water bodies such as Pine Lake, Fishtrap Lake, and Tee Lake, which have historically influenced both recreation and local development.
