2013 Map of Knox East

About this map

The city of Knox and the surrounding Starke County countryside are defined by a sophisticated network of drainage ditches and the meandering course of the Yellow River. In the early 21st century, this landscape remains deeply agricultural, evidenced by large operations like Yellow River Farms and the Grovertown Fruit Farm near the community of Grovertown. The map reveals the intricate water management system necessary for this fertile region, including the Gearhart Ditch, Morse Ditch, and Cannon Ditch, which crisscross the grid of country roads. Transportation history is noted by the presence of E Yellowstone Trl, a nod to the historic transcontinental highway route. Toward the southern edge, the small settlement of Ober sits along the rail corridor, while the Singleton's Landing Strip Airport serves local aviation needs on the western periphery.
