2010 Map of Akron

About this map

Akron serves as the primary hub of this northern Indiana landscape, where a dense network of local roads and water management ditches reflects a long history of agricultural engineering. The town layout is clearly defined, situated north of Town Lake and east of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows Cemetery. To the west, the smaller settlement of Athens is marked by the Mount Hope Athens Cemetery, while the northern reaches include the community of Beaver Dam and Lowman Corner. The terrain is characterized by numerous glacial lakes and man-made drainage systems like Eaton Busenburg Ditch and White Ditch, which channel water toward Chippewanuck Creek. Historical sites such as Millark Millpond and the Nichols Cemetery provide valuable points of reference for genealogists and local historians studying the rural development of Fulton County.
