The Iroquois River meanders across this Newton County landscape, reflecting the essential relationship between the region's agricultural productivity and its water management systems. The grid-like arrangement of rural roads and an extensive network of man-made waterways, including Thompson Ditch and Morrison Ditch Number One, underscore a long-term effort to drain and cultivate the prairie. The town of Kentland serves as the focal point, showing a clearly defined residential and commercial street plan with names like E Lincoln St and E Seymour St.
