Topographical map of Lake Maxinkuckee - 1900Title: Topographical map of Lake Maxinkuckee. Creator(s): Scovell, J. T. Date: [1900] Description 1 map : black & white ; 31X43 cm This was probably done within conjunction with the Lake Maxinkuckee: A Physical and Biological Survey 2 vols. (1920, Indianapolis Department of Conservation) Dr. Burton W. Evermann and H. W. Clark. The book was offered on Ebay not to long ago and it said in the description there was a map or set of maps attached in a packet or inside the back cover. This is the map:  This map also appears in: An Early History of Lake Maxinkuckee (1905, Levey Bros. & Co. Indianapolis) Daniel Mc Donald, Maxinkuckee Lake Assoc. As J. T. Scovell was a part of the Biological survey team - ans he is mentioned throughout; here is a larger. Even tho this map does not give alot of information on cottage locations around the lake it gives locations of some of them and the lots in existing in 1900 - and is a major asset to this site - one location is pinpointed is the "Roost" or Conzelman cottage on the north side; as well as it shows the buildings of the Arlington Hotel  I have taken and copied the areas around the lake to show the detail starting from the Northeast corner (Culver Military Academy) and going around the lake till end up back at the Lake View Hotel grounds. I am going to put them all on one page - and may take a while to load and not as a click show. Another map of about 1896 has surfaced which bears striking resembleance to this map but has other data - It has the Indian trails marked to and from the lake and around it along with many of the same points of interest marked on it. When comparing the 1896-after, the topographical and the Everman's Survey mpa of 1900 the all bear the same exact landmarks - some detailing may be left out in one - more detailing in another - or different emphasis is placed on detailing. |
