2022 Map of Kingsford Heights

About this map

Kingsford Heights anchors this agricultural region in the early 2020s, defined by a meticulously planned residential layout that contrasts with the surrounding LaPorte County farmsteads. The settlement of Tracy sits just to the north, while Union Center and South Center mark the rural landscape to the east. The terrain is deeply influenced by water management, with a complex network of man-made waterways like Salisbury Ditch, Whitham Ditch, and Maurey Ditch draining the flatlands toward the Kankakee River. These engineering features, alongside named arms such as Cusher Arm and Winchell Arm, illustrate the long-term transformation of this wetland environment into productive Indiana farmland. Natural drainage still persists in the form of Mill Cr, while the county line between LaPorte Co and Starke Co follows the historical path of the river, showing how natural boundaries continue to dictate administrative ones.
