About this map

Atwood and Clunette anchor this portion of Kosciusko County, showcasing a landscape defined by its intricate water management system and agricultural grid. The southern border is traced by the Tippecanoe River, while the rest of the terrain is a network of named drainage features like Truax Ditch, Fleugel Ditch, and Pole Run Ditch. These man-made and natural watercourses, including several “arms” such as Hatfield Arm and Wolf Arm, highlight the intensive land use required to maintain the productivity of this glaciated Indiana plain.

Genealogists will find notable value in the local burial grounds, including Graber Cemetery in the northwest, Clunette Cemetery, and Highland Cemetery south of the village. The prominent Hoffman Lake provides a natural landmark in an otherwise rectilinear landscape of county roads. The map's layout of section lines and named ditches reflects the late 20th-century evolution of rural infrastructure near the city of Warsaw.
