1969 Map of Knox West

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

The Yellow River and Kankakee River flow through this section of Starke County, defining a landscape heavily engineered for agriculture. A complex network of drainage canals, including the Laramore Ditch, Prettyman Ditch, and Jackson-Shilling Ditch, reveals the intensive effort to manage the marshy lowlands of the Prairie region. The settlement at Brems sits at a junction of rail and road, while the outskirts of Knox show the development of the Starke County Airport and Wythougan Park during the late 1960s.
