2016 Map of Lagrange

About this map

The town of Lagrange serves as the focal point of this northeastern Indiana landscape, where a sophisticated network of drainage ditches and natural waterways supports a heritage of milling and agriculture. The Pigeon River and Fawn River cross the northern reaches, feeding the Ontario Millpond and historic sites like Star Mill. These watercourses are supplemented by an extensive system of human-engineered channels, including Rowe Ditch, McManus Ditch, and Stoner Ditch, illustrating the intensive efforts to manage the wetlands common to this region. Near the settlement of Howe, several cemeteries such as Oaklawn Cem and Riverside Cem provide valuable touchpoints for genealogical research. The map also documents the transition from traditional commerce to modern transit, featuring the Reid-Eash Airport and Yoder Field alongside established village centers.
