About this map

Hanna and the nearby settlement of Thomaston anchor this portion of southern LaPorte County, defined by a highly structured network of agricultural drainage. The landscape is characterized by an extensive system of named waterways and engineered channels, including Gloor Ditch, Richman Ditch, and the Hanna Arm of Tuesburg Ditch, which manage the low-lying terrain to support the region's farming heritage. To the north, the communities of Wellsboro and Union Mills sit near the headwaters of Mill Cr and Union Mills Lake.

This survey reveals a distinct intersection of transportation and rural industry, where the legacy of Railroad St and established county thoroughfares connect small towns. The inclusion of the Flying U Ranch Airport highlights the specialized aviation uses that dot this prairie landscape. Genealogists and local historians can trace the precise development of field boundaries and the evolution of smaller arms like Rosenbaum Arm and Kuehn Ditch that weave between these historic LaPorte County townships.
