1942 Map of Stroh

About this map

Big Turkey Lake and Big Long Lake anchor this corner of Northeast Indiana, where Steuben, LaGrange, Noble, and DeKalb counties converge. The landscape is defined by its glacial kettle lakes and a network of agricultural drainage, including the Maumee Ditch and Stump Ditch. Small rural settlements and crossroad hamlets like Stroh, Elmira, and Salem Center provide a look at the community structure of the early 1940s. Genealogists will find local landmarks such as Bethel Ch, Weston Chapel Cem, and the Salem Center Sch along the section lines.
