About this map

Plattsburg and Kossuth anchor the rural landscape of northern Washington County on this 2010 topographic survey. The area is defined by a deep network of family and community history, evidenced by numerous burial grounds such as Collett Cemetery, Gater Cemetery, and the Blue River Quaker Orthodox Cemetery near the southern boundary. These sites are situated among the intricate drainage systems of Delaney Creek and the West Fork Blue River, where local topography is punctuated by landmarks like Potato Knob and Johnson Knob.

Water management and infrastructure shape the central terrain, notably with Delaney Creek Structure Number 1 and Delaney Creek Structure Number 2 regulating the flow through the hollows. Further south, the settlements of Georgetown and Canton appear along the transition from the winding valley roads to the more established transportation corridors near the river forks. This map serves as a vital record of the enduring local landmarks, from Walnut Ridge to the various hollows that have long defined property lines and settlement patterns in this part of Indiana.
