Description
This charming map showcases all there is to see and do at Indiana’s Pokagon State Park. Three different hiking trails are shown snaking through the archery range, animal pens, toboggan slide, historic Potawatomi Inn, and numerous other visitor amenities. Local ‘Legends and History’ is offered in the upper left, while the four edges highlight recreational opportunities for each of the seasons.
Vignettes attributed to Helen Aldrich Swenson in 1937, according to fine text in the lower right inset. The lower right border contains the initials E.L.N. and the date 1939, from which the publication year was derived.
Interestingly, the descriptive text on the verso appears to be outdated, as it lists the parks’ acreage at 937 (vs. the 1,044 acres in the map’s title). During the period, the park was home to members of the Civilian Conservation Corps, who contributed significantly to its lasting beautification and permanent structures.
