2022 Map of Knox West

About this map

The Kankakee River flows through the northwestern corner of this territory, defining a landscape engineered for agriculture through an extensive network of drainage projects. This intricate system includes the Yellow River and numerous named channels such as Jackson-Shilling Ditch, Cottonwood Ditch, and Laramore Ditch, which converted former wetlands into the productive fields that dominate Starke County. Small communities and historical gathering points like Brems, Indian Hill, and Toto are distributed across the township grid, while the western edge of Knox appears in the east. Local history is preserved at sites like Hepner Cem and Oak Park Cem, which stand alongside modern infrastructure like the Starke County Airport. The map also details private aviation at Singleton's Landing Strip, reflecting the rural but accessible character of the region in the early 21st century.
