About this map

Knox serves as the focal point of this eastern Starke County landscape, centered on the Starke County Courthouse and the nearby Crown Hill Cem. The area is defined by the winding course of the Yellow River, which is supported by an intricate system of engineered waterways such as Danielson-Ditch, Gearhart Ditch, and Bolen Ditch. These ditches reveal a history of land reclamation and drainage management essential for the development of the region's agricultural and residential plots.

To the north, the settlement of Hamlet sits near the E Yellowstone Trl, while the small community of Ober occupies the southeastern corner. The map provides significant detail for local historians and genealogists, pinpointing numerous family and community burial sites including Fletcher Cem, Holy Cross Cem, and Oak Grove Cem. Aviation history is noted by Singleton's Landing Strip, while the surrounding terrain is etched by natural features like Eagle Creek and Boots Ditch.
