About this map

The eastern suburbs of Kokomo and the surrounding agricultural landscape of Howard and Tipton Counties are meticulously documented in this 2016 survey. The terrain is defined by a dense network of engineered drainage, including the Mugg-Ingels Ditch, Stahl Ditch, and Cannon-Goyer Ditch, which manage water flow across the flat glacial till to support productive farmland. To the northeast, the Kokomo Waterworks Reservoir Number Two and Kokomo Reservoir Number One mark the upper reaches of Wildcat Creek, serving as critical infrastructure for the regional water supply.

Smaller unincorporated communities and historical nodes like Oakford, Center, and Hemlock dot the landscape along established corridors. For genealogists and local historians, the map preserves the locations of several burial grounds such as Crown Point Cem and Hopewell Cem. The transition from the urban grid of Kokomo to the outlying rural character is further illustrated by features like the Salsbery Airport near Sharpsville and the residential clusters of Indian Heights and Darrough Chapel.
