2010 Map of Kentland

About this map

Kentland serves as the central hub of this agricultural landscape in northwestern Indiana, where a grid of rural roads and an extensive network of drainage ditches support the local economy. The winding Iroquois River cuts across the northern half of the area, bordered by significant local landmarks such as Dorne Cemetery and Mount Zion Cemetery. To the south, the settlement pattern concentrates around Kentland, featuring the Kentland Municipal Airport and multiple burial grounds including Fairlawn Cemetery and Saint Josephs Cemetery. The map captures a high degree of hydrological engineering designed to manage the flat prairie land, evidenced by named channels like Montgomery Ditch and Kent Ditch. These man-made watercourses reflect the region's long-standing commitment to reclaiming fertile soil for cultivation, while smaller settlements like Ade and Newton mark the quiet corners of the county.
