1947 - May 14 - Discovers Old Map Of East Side Plat
    Lorenz O. Schmidt of Indianapolis, East Side cottager, has discovered among his grandfather's papers a plat that was probably made between 1894 and 1903, showing a subdivision on the East side of Lake Maxinkuckee.

    It is not believed that Mr. Schmidt was ever here, but as a real estate agent had plats from all over the state.

    The plat shows a subdivision known as Sea Beach Place south of Maxinkuckee Landing.

    Other places around the lake are shown, with the town of Culver then known as Marmont a short distance from the lake, a few scattered buildings at the academy, the depot and one building in the north part of town as it is now, a railroad spur at Arlington, and other interesting buildings, including Lost Lake running in the wrong direction.

    The map is at The Citizen office for this week and those interested are invited to inspect it and help identify some of the buildings shown
