M. W. Stokes, Map of St. Joseph County, Indiana, Philadelphia, 1863 — Library of Congress, LCCN 2013593163
What it is: the county's Civil War-era wall map, held by the Library of Congress's Geography and Map Division, and named here because its sheet carries a New Carlisle inset — the town drawn at map scale a generation before the atlas, inside a county frame. Wall maps of this class were the working geography of their decade: roads, mills, landowners, and the town plats as insets. For this build the map stands at located strength — its Library of Congress record read, its inset named in that record — a cartographic witness between the 1835 plat Howard quotes and the 1875 atlas plates, and a pull-list-grade item for any pass that works the town's street plan at first hand.
