1948 Map of Vandalia

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Glacial lakes and small-scale agriculture define this pocket of Cass and St. Joseph counties shortly after World War II. The landscape is a complex network of water bodies, from the prominent Diamond Lake and Birch Lake to smaller basins like Paradise Lake and Mudd Lake. The village of Vandalia serves as a central hub, connected to the wider region by the Grand Trunk Western RR. The density of community landmarks suggests a settled rural population, with numerous country schools such as Swamp School, Willow Pond Sch, and Hebron Sch scattered alongside local spiritual centers like Chain Lake Ch and White Temple Ch.
