About this map

Palestine Lake and the Tippecanoe River dominate this portion of Kosciusko County, where the landscape is defined by an intricate network of agricultural drainage systems. Settled areas like Palestine, Burket, and the southwestern edges of Warsaw are interconnected by a grid of rural roads and numerous named waterways such as Pyle Ditch, Boggs Ditch, and Sellers Ditch.

Genealogists and local historians can locate several family and community landmarks, including Union Cem, Nye Cem, and Wooden Cem. The presence of Sickle Lake and Goose Lake alongside natural drainages like Trimble Creek and Yellow Creek highlights the glacial topography of northern Indiana. In the southern corner, the village of Claypool sits near the crossing of local roads and watercourses, including Merritt Ditch and Sloan Ditch.
