About this map

The glacial landscape of Noble County is defined by a dense network of lakes and drainage ditches in this 2010 survey. Kendallville serves as the primary population center, situated alongside Bixler Lake and the Bixler Lake Ditch. The geography of the region is notably aquatic, with Sylvan Lake to the northwest featuring a collection of named landforms such as Big Island, Bishop Island, and Chicken Coop Island. This intricate shoreline is contrasted by the precise grid of the surrounding agricultural township roads, including E 1000 N and Drake Rd.

Genealogists and local historians can locate several burial sites, from the Old Cemetery near the city center to the Perseverance Cemetery in the northeast. Small settlements like Wayne Center, Lisbon, and Wakeville Village dot the landscape, illustrating the persistent rural-to-urban transition of the area. The map also records essential infrastructure like the Kendallville Municipal Airport and the numerous named waterways such as Latta Lake, Wible Lake, and Sacarider Lake that drive the local hydrography.
