About this map

Bakertown and Green Center anchor a landscape defined by an intricate network of drainage ditches and small glacial lakes in this corner of Noble County. This 2013 survey documents the agricultural character of the region, where family-named waterways like Summers Ditch, Thumma Ditch, and Yarian Ditch channel water through a terrain dotted with recreational and ecological landmarks. Small clusters of residences appear at Ege and Egans Point, the latter situated near a concentration of water bodies including Long Lake and Krieger Lake.

Aviation infrastructure is represented by Pippenger Airport and Ries Airport, reflecting the rural utility of light aircraft in the mid-north Indiana countryside. The Blue River and its tributaries, such as Growcock Br and Willow Cr, wind through the southern portion of the quadrangle, illustrating the natural drainage patterns that have historically shaped the settlement and farming practices of this Indiana township.
