Major Whistler’s plan of Fort Wayne, August 1816

This map is printed across two leaves and this is one of them. Whistler’s ground outside the pickets, 1816

Major Whistler’s plan of Fort Wayne, August 1816

This plate is not tiled, so it cannot be zoomed here. What is served is the whole plate at its full scanned width, and the item it came from is linked below.

The Pictorial History of Fort Wayne, Indiana, by B. J. Griswold, 1917, printed page 157, scan leaf n164.

Public domain. Published before 1929, so out of copyright in the United States.

Crop box Leaf n164, cropped from (10,916), 2290 by 1942. Nothing rotated. THE TWO HOLDINGS DATE THIS DRAWING DIFFERENTLY AND IT IS NOT RESOLVED HERE. Griswold 1917 captions it August 1816. The Allen County Public Library, which holds a scan of the whole sheet, titles it "Drawing of Fort Wayne, IN, John Whistler, 1815" (contentdm.acpl.lib.in.us, p16089coll56 item 1140). Neither was read against the sheet’s own inscription, and nothing on this site depends on which is right. Recorded 22 September 2026. on the source sheet.
