Lake County 1822

The University of Alabama has an interesting collection of historical maps of Indiana.

For purposes of this blog I have extracted Lake County from some of those maps, since we don't care about the rest of Indiana, now, do we?

And so, without further ado, allow me to present Lake County as it appeared in the Geographical, Statistical, and Historical Map of Indiana by Lucas Fielding, Jr., published in 1822:

River Styx? I don't believe that for a minute.

More historical maps to come.
