About this map

Aldine and Denham anchor this landscape in northwestern Indiana, where a complex network of artificial waterways defines the modern drainage patterns of Starke County. The land is strikingly flat, characterized by an extensive grid of drainage features such as Craigmile Ditch, Beebe Ditch, and Hook Ditch that were engineered to reclaim and manage the low-lying terrain for agricultural use.

Tracing the path of Bogus Run as it winds through the central portion of the map reveals the original natural hydrology that existed before the implementation of more recent ditches like Quigley Marsh Ditch and Passmore Ditch. In the northern section, Round Lake remains a prominent natural landmark amidst the surveyed road grid. Smaller residential pockets like Lena Park provide a localized look at the settlement patterns that emerged along these rural county routes in the early twenty-first century.
