2019 Map of Knox West

About this map

The Yellow River and the Kankakee River converge in this western portion of Starke County, creating a landscape defined by an intricate network of drainage systems. These man-made channels, such as Robbins Ditch, Laramore Ditch, and Jackson-Shilling Ditch, have historically reclaimed the low-lying wetlands for agricultural use. The city of Knox sits on the eastern edge of the survey, serving as a focal point for the region's development. Scattered rural settlements including Brems, Indian Hill, and Toto are connected by a rigid grid of section roads, reflecting the structured township-and-range surveying system. Local history is anchored by sites like Oak Park Cem and Hepner Cem, while the Starke County Airport and Singleton's Landing Strip indicate the area's modern infrastructure and private aviation interests.
