2019 Map of Knox East

About this map

The Yellow River flows through the heart of Starke County, anchoring a landscape defined by an extensive network of drainage infrastructure including Cannon Ditch, Bolen Ditch, and Mooreman Ditch. These waterways reflect the historical effort to manage the regional wetlands for agriculture, a pattern seen throughout the township divisions of t33n r2w and t34n r1w. The city of Knox serves as a primary settlement point, with smaller communities like Hamlet to the north and Ober to the southeast providing local commercial centers. Genealogy researchers will find several well-preserved burial grounds, such as Crown Hill Cem and the more isolated Swartzell Cem. Notable transportation routes like the E Yellowstone Trl cut across the northern sections, tracing the evolution of early regional travel through this part of Indiana.
