1959 Map of Atwood

About this map

Clunette serves as a central point in this northern Indiana landscape, where the agricultural grid is deeply etched by a complex network of drainage systems. Water management is the defining characteristic of this terrain, evidenced by numerous named waterways such as Dausman Ditch, Fleugel Ditch, and Truax Ditch that feed into the larger Tippecanoe River system. This 1959 survey, later updated with aerial observations, shows a region transitioning into the mid-century era, with rural schools and churches standing alongside newer developments like the Drive-in Theater near the southern boundary.
