About this map

The Galena River and its various tributaries, such as Warwick Ditch and Moon Ditch, define the drainage patterns of this northern Indiana landscape. Small settlements and crossroads like Springville and Shippeeburg anchor the rural road grid, while the southern margin of the map shows the northern expansion of LaPorte. The land is dotted with local burial grounds, including the Rossburg Cem and the Quaker Cem, which offer significant value for genealogical research in LaPorte County.

Water features are prominent across the terrain, from Tee Lake in the north to Fishtrap Lake and Lower Lake near the city edge. The southeastern portion of the quadrangle follows the path of the Little Kankakee River, where the landscape transitions toward the open marshlands historically characteristic of the region. The map also traces managed watercourses like Downing Arm and Collins Ditch, illustrating how the natural hydrology has been altered for local drainage.
