About this map

Wildcat Creek flows through the northern reaches of this Howard County landscape, feeding the Waterworks Reservoir No 2 and Reservoir No 1 as they serve the growing industrial hub of Kokomo. The eastern edge of the city shows significant development around Studebaker Park and the American Legion Golf Course, while the surrounding townships of Liberty and Taylor maintain a structured grid of agricultural roads and family-named landmarks.

Southward, the terrain transitions into Tipton County, anchored by the settlement of Sharpsville along the Norfolk and Western line. This survey captures a network of rural life defined by community centers like Darrough Chapel, Macedonia Ch, and East Hopewell Ch. Distinctive local infrastructure, including the Radio Towers (WIOU) and the Township Sch at Center, illustrates the mid-century spatial organization of north-central Indiana's small towns and unincorporated communities.
