About this map

Argos and the surrounding agricultural landscapes of Marshall and Fulton Counties are defined by a complex network of man-made drainage systems. The map illustrates how the land was engineered for farming through features like Hooker Ditch, Albright Ditch, and Rannels Ditch, which channel water toward the natural meanders of the Tippecanoe River and Outlet Creek. Small rural settlements like Walnut, Tiosa, and Talma serve as nodes in a grid of section-line roads, including the historic north-south thoroughfare of Michigan Rd.

For genealogists and local historians, several burial sites are preserved across the landscape, including McGrew Cemetery near the center and both Hamlett Cemetery and Reister Cemetery positioned along the river in the southeast. These landmarks, alongside the grid of numbered roads like 18th Rd and 17th Rd, provide a clear framework for locating ancestral property and understanding the rural development of north-central Indiana.
