About this map

Lake Wawasee and Syracuse Lake anchor this 1951 topographic study of northern Indiana's lake country, showing a landscape defined by seasonal recreation and established agricultural crossroads. The town of Syracuse sits between the two major water bodies, served by the Baltimore and Ohio railroad which skirts the northern shore of the larger lake. Lakeside development is evident at Vawter Park and Oakwood Park, while landmarks like the Wawasee Fish Hatchery and several golf courses including Maxwelton Golf Club indicate the area's mid-century role as a regional destination.
