2019 Map of Kossuth

About this map

Plattsburg and Kossuth sit within a landscape of deeply carved drainages and prominent ridges in northern Washington County. The area's topography is defined by significant landmarks like Potato Knob and Johnson Knob, with numerous hollows such as Mandy Hollow, Spurgeon Hollow, and the colorfully named Lick Skillet Hollow feeding into larger water bodies like the W Fork Blue River. This modern survey illustrates how long-established rural settlements and family burial grounds remain integral to the community fabric. Genealogists will find a high density of small cemeteries, including Blue River Friends Cem, Collett Cem, and Gater Cem, scattered across the township lines. The winding route of the Knobstone Trail / Backcountry Trail traverses the eastern ridges, following the elevation contours past Deep Gap and through the timbered reaches of the Hoosier landscape.
