1863–1917 and after · the succession run once, with its gaps named
The county's commercial cartography runs in a line, and the line is printed here once, as a trade succession rather than as single maps. It opens before the atlas era proper, with the wall map: Stokes and Shober's 1863 county map, subscription cartography sold to the landowners it depicted, cadastral and booster at once. The subscription county atlas follows: Higgins, Belden and Company of Chicago, An Illustrated Historical Atlas of St. Joseph County, 1875 — compiled, drawn and published from personal examinations and surveys, on its title page's own claim — carrying Union Township at pages 62–63 and the Lakeville plat at page 40, the single most-used map source in this entire build. The state-atlas form rides beside the county form: Baskin and Forster's 1876 state atlas prints its own St. Joseph County map in the centennial year. Then the trade's long plateau — county plat books and farm atlases from Chicago and regional houses, undated or dated by edition, of which this build has dug one at depth: Bowen's Indiana State Atlas of 1917, contents-attested for its county plate in the maps file, its town table already caught erring on Lakeville's population in both directions across the file set. The succession's far end is not a book at all: the county plat's digital survival in the county GIS, treated in the living-map article below. Residue, named honestly: the middle runs of the trade — the individual plat-book editions between 1875 and 1917 for this county, maker by maker — stand in the Indiana State Library's county atlas bibliography, the audit's settler, current, and were not enumerated edition by edition for this section. This item closes mixed: the succession's spine is dated and named at both ends and at its two dug points; its middle shelf is named, not read.
