1958 Map of Stillwell

About this map

The Kingsbury Ordnance Plant anchors the southern portion of this LaPorte County landscape, a massive industrial presence that shaped the local economy during the mid-20th century. To the north, the terrain transitions into a complex network of waterways and glacial features, including the connected basins of Upper Fish Lake and Lower Fish Lake. The settlement of Stillwell serves as a vital transit point, where the New York Chicago and St Louis and Wabash rail lines intersect, facilitating the movement of goods and people across the Indiana prairie.
