2016 Map of Burket

About this map

Palestine Lake and the Tippecanoe River define this corner of Kosciusko County, where the landscape is marked by a complex network of agricultural drainage ditches and small glacial basins. The settlement of Palestine sits at the northern tip of its namesake lake, while the village of Burket and the town of Claypool anchor the southern portion of the sheet. This 2016 survey captures the rural character of the region, emphasizing the importance of local water management through named features like Magee Ditch, Pyle Ditch, and Sellers Ditch. Local history is preserved at Union Cem and Nye Cem, which serve as quiet landmarks among the section-line roads. The area's northern edge touches the outskirts of Warsaw, showing the transition from agricultural tracts to the residential development along W Winona Ave.
