About this map

Akron and the nearby settlement of Athens anchor this northern Indiana landscape, where the agricultural plains meet a complex network of glacial lakes and drainage ditches. The area is defined by its water management systems, including the Chippewanuck Cr and numerous man-made channels like Graham Ditch and Gast Ditch. These waterways weave between significant natural features such as Lake Sixteen and Town Lake, reflecting the region's history of transforming marshlands into productive farmland.

Genealogists will find the Akron Independent Order of Odd Fellows Cem and Hoovers Cem near the western edge of the survey, while Nichols Cem lies further north. The map also captures the crossing of W State Rd 14 and E State Rd 114, tracing the modern transit routes that replaced early pioneer trails. Smaller water bodies like Stinson Lake and Keesey Lake persist in the southern reaches, alongside the Millark Millpond.
