Communities: the Township's Named Settlements

One historic settlement of record, one name-record settlement, one undocumented shore, two named points. The Huggart Settlement stands at owner-pointer strength (the black-history file owns it whole): Section 29, a square mile bounded by Osborne, SR 4, Mulberry, and Oak, founded on Samuel Huggart's 1834 application, at its greatest about 1880, gone by the 1890s. Lamb's Settlement takes the settlement here (its cemetery ground is the cemeteries file's): the Lamb name is founding-era — Esau Lamb, arriving about 1836 — and the place is filed in the name record with the aliases "Mennonite" and "Shively." Its Mennonite character stands at alias strength only: no congregational history or encyclopedia article tying a Mennonite congregation to Lamb's/Shively was reached, and its community course is a named gap (settlers: GAMEO and the conference records; the 1875 atlas plate; the settler-roll expansions). The lakes community — shore residents on Riddles and Pleasant, year-round and seasonal — exists in fact, but no named association, plat name, church, store, or organisation for either shore was reached in any carrier: it prints as a residential fact without a documented institutional record (a named gap; no folklore imported to fill it). The hamlet test returns exactly two names: Colburn (41.548937° N, 86.26834° W) and Midway Corners (41.520881° N, 86.202227° W), the township's listed unincorporated communities besides Lakeville — named points with coordinates and no earned course yet (a named gap; settlers: their GNIS records, the atlas, the directories). Tested and excluded with reasons: Sumption Prairie is a church and cemetery name, not a hamlet; Wyatt is Madison Township's, boundary-printed, not absorbed.
