2010 Map of Stillwell

About this map

Stillwell stands as a focal point in this 2010 survey of LaPorte County, where the convergence of rail lines and regional roads anchors the local landscape. The map captures a complex hydrological network defined by the Kankakee River and its various tributaries, including the winding Little Kankakee River and Mill Creek. To the east, the recreational and residential geography around Fish Lake is meticulously detailed, showing the distinct basins of Upper Fish Lake and Lower Fish Lake. This area reflects a classic Midwestern pattern of small-town settlements like Salem Heights and Kankakee interspersed with a rigid grid of county roads. The drainage systems, such as the Barringer Ditch, illustrate the historical efforts to manage the low-lying wetlands that characterize this portion of northern Indiana.
