The register hoped for a dated series of street sheets, 1876–2005 style. The holdings do not support that series for Walkerton, and this article prints the true size of what exists instead of borrowing the county seat's series. Walkerton appears inside other people's street maps. The Indiana State Library's county list carries the town by name exactly once in a street-map title: the 1989 Spectrum street map of South Bend and Mishawaka "including St. Joseph County, Lakeville, New Carlisle, North Liberty, Walkerton" — Walkerton as the last-named inclusion on a metropolitan sheet. The Athentic plat books of #137 carry city street maps as a standing component from the 2000 edition forward ("county highway map, city street maps, index of owners"), which means a Walkerton street map exists inside the 2000, 2003, 2010 and 2014 county plat books — at catalogue strength, their Walkerton sheets not page-read in this section. The state's functional-classification mapping gives the town one sheet of its own in the modern record: INDOT's Walkerton functional class map, current as of 23 January 2009 in its source note, classifying the town's streets by federal functional class on the corporation line — a working map in the strictest sense, made for highway administration, and the only single-town Walkerton street sheet this section reached as a document. The ward map the town's own code adopts (§ 11.01, ordinances of December 1982 and 2002-08, two copies on file with the Clerk-Treasurer) is a further working sheet, carried at #141 as a plan.
The two seats the register names as settlers were tested at catalogue strength and their shape is now known: the St. Joseph County Public Library's Local & Family History map case, whose finding aid this section's searches reached, is a South Bend and Mishawaka collection in its street-sheet holdings — its dated series (election-district maps, street maps of 1958 and the rest) are the two cities', and Walkerton street sheets do not appear in it; and the Walkerton Area Historical Society's museum holds "postcards, photographs, artifacts, maps, etc." by its Omeka library's own description, its map holdings uncatalogued online — the seat where a locally kept street-sheet series, if one was ever kept, physically lives. A dated Walkerton street-sheet series may exist in that museum's cases; it does not exist in any online catalogue reached, and the dated series printed for this town is therefore: the 1875 atlas plates (banked), the Sanborn sheets (#140), the 1989 inclusion, the Athentic street maps of 2000–2014, and INDOT's 2009 functional class sheet.
Closure: TRUE SIZE / NAMED GAP — the online series printed at its true size; a fuller local series a named gap. Settlers: the Walkerton Area Historical Society museum's map holdings, read in person, and the SJCPL Local & Family History map case read for Walkerton specifically.
