About this map

Wildcat Creek and Kokomo Creek converge near the heart of this Howard County landscape, defining the drainage patterns that shaped the expansion of Kokomo. The western suburban growth is visible through the residential street grids of Indian Heights and the smaller settlement of Alto. Historically significant burial sites such as Twin Springs Cem and the Sunset Memory Gardens provide clear points of interest for genealogists tracing local families.

A complex network of agricultural and municipal drainage, including Edwards Ditch and Butler Ditch, illustrates the engineering required to manage the flat Midwestern terrain. Aviation history is represented by the Glendale Airport and the Indian Hills Flying Field, while West Middleton remains a distinct anchor on the western edge of the survey area. Large recreational spaces like Foster Park offer a contrast to the dense municipal core of the city.
