2010 Map of La Crosse

About this map

La Crosse serves as the primary hub of this northern Indiana agricultural landscape, situated at a major crossroads in the northern portion of the quadrangle. The terrain is defined by an extensive and intricate network of drainage systems, including Greiger Ditch, West Arm Ditch, and Hannon Ditch, which converted the natural marshlands into productive farmland. These watercourses channel toward the southern border, where the Kankakee River winds past the settlement of Riverside. Smaller communities like Clanricarde and Wilders are spaced along the north-south transport corridors, while the rest of the area is segmented by a precise grid of rural roads such as County Line Rd and S 700 E. The survey reveals a landscape of modern land management, where natural features like Crooked Creek coexist with the highly engineered network of ditches that support the region's rural economy.
