About this map

Big Turkey Lake and a complex network of glacial kettle lakes define this corner of Indiana, where the borders of LaGrange, Steuben, Noble, and DeKalb counties converge. The settlement of Stroh serves as a central hub, surrounded by smaller communities and lakeside developments like Shady Nook, Woodland Park, and Timberhurst. The landscape is a mosaic of water and agriculture, with drainage managed through systems such as Shump Ditch and Hutchins Ditch.

Genealogists can find numerous burial grounds reflecting early family settlements, including Reed Cem, Wright Cem, and Lake Bethel Cem. The higher ground at Sand Hill provides a rare point of elevation in a terrain otherwise dominated by basins like The Basin and substantial water bodies such as Big Long Lake and McClish Lake. These labels offer a clear look at the residential and rural patterns established before the mid-2010s.
