2022 Map of Akron

About this map

Akron serves as the primary hub of this north-central Indiana landscape, where the grid of Fulton County meets Kosciusko County. The area is defined by a dense network of drainage infrastructure, including the Chippewanuck Cr and numerous man-made channels like Graham Ditch and Rickle Ditch. These waterways manage a terrain dotted with glacial remnants such as Lake Sixteen, Town Lake, and Barr Lake. Local history is anchored by several long-standing community sites, most notably the Akron Independent Order of Odd Fellows Cem and the settlement at Athens. To the south, the Millark Millpond and Kelsey Lake suggest a history of water management and early milling. The map reveals a highly structured agricultural environment, with roads like E Division Rd and W State Rd 14 connecting scattered farmsteads and rural cemeteries like Hoovers Cem and Nichols Cem.
