About this map

The Kankakee River winds across this landscape south of Kouts, defining the boundary between Porter and Jasper counties. This 1992 revision reveals a region defined by an extensive drainage network, including the Sandy Hook Ditch and Brevogel Ditch, which supports the agricultural base of townships like Pleasant and Boone. The town of Kouts serves as the local center, with an interesting grid pattern and the presence of the Old Railroad Grade marking the path of former rail lines through the area.

Local history and genealogy interests are well-represented by several burial grounds, such as Hopewell Cem and Graceland Cem, alongside the Abundant Life Family Ch. Smaller settlements and corners like Aylesworth, Five Points Corner, and Ahlgrim remain documented on the map, providing a clear view of the rural crossroads and small-town structure of northwestern Indiana during the late twentieth century.
