About this map

The Tippecanoe River meanders through the southeast corner of this northern Indiana landscape, where the county line separates Marshall Co from Fulton Co. The town of Argos serves as a primary hub in the north, while smaller settlements like Walnut, Tiosa, and Talma are dispersed along the rural road network. This 2016 survey illustrates a highly managed agricultural plain, evidenced by an extensive system of man-made waterways such as Hooker Ditch, Albright Ditch, and Rannels Ditch designed to drain the low-lying terrain.

Local history is preserved through several rural burial grounds, including Maple Grove Cem near Argos and the Reister Cem and Hamlett Cem further south. The straight path of Michigan Rd cuts through the territory, reflecting the early surveying patterns that defined the region's development. This map provides a clear record of the intersection between historic settlements and the engineered drainage systems required to sustain the area's agricultural identity.
