About this map

Aldine and Denham anchor this rural landscape along the border of Starke and Pulaski counties, revealing a region defined by an extensive, engineered network of water management. The terrain is crisscrossed by numerous named drainage features, including Cedar Lake Ditch, Craigmile Ditch, and Quigley Marsh Ditch, which speak to the historic reclamation of wetlands for agricultural use. This drainage system reaches toward Round Lake in the north and follows natural watercourses like Bogus Run.

Genealogists and local historians can locate the Center Cem in the southeast, while the map's grid-like road system, featuring routes like Co RD W 800 N, shows the persistence of early land survey patterns. The transition from the more developed northern townships into the marshy lowland areas to the south is clearly visible through the density of named ditches like Passmore Ditch and Hartwick Ditch, reflecting the continuous effort to manage this damp corner of Northern Indiana.
