About this map

Atwood and the western edge of Warsaw anchor this survey of Kosciusko County, Indiana, where a complex network of agricultural drainage ditches and natural waterways defines the landscape. The Tippecanoe River flows through the southeastern corner, near the curiously labeled Old Channel Kankakee River, suggesting a legacy of significant hydrological management in this region. This interplay between the natural course of the river and man-made features like Dausman Ditch and Pale Run Ditch reflects the intensive land use required for farming in Northern Indiana.

Local history is preserved in several small burial grounds, including Highland Cem near Atwood and Clunette Cem adjacent to the small settlement of Clunette. Further north, Graber Cem sits near the headwaters of the Miller Ditch system. For recreational history, Hoffman Lake remains a prominent landmark, surrounded by a grid of rural roads like W Pinkerton Rd and W 900 N that have guided local travel for generations.
