2019 Map of Hanna

About this map

Hanna and Union Mills anchor this southern LaPorte County landscape, where the Kankakee River basin's complex drainage history is clearly visible. The map detail reveals an extensive network of managed waterways, including the Hanna Arm of Tuesburg Ditch, Richman Ditch, and Pitner Ditch, which converted former wetlands into productive Indiana farmland. Transportation corridors define the region's layout, with United States Highway 30 Alt Rte cutting a straight line across the prairie through Wanatah. Local history is preserved in landmarks such as Morgan Cem and the small rural airfield at Flying U Ranch Airport. These features, along with rail-adjacent settlements like Wellsboro and Thomaston, illustrate the enduring intersection of commercial transit and agricultural infrastructure in the northern Indiana grain belt.
