About this map

The Tippecanoe River winds through this glacial landscape, connecting a chain of significant water bodies including Tippecanoe Lake, Little Chapman Lake, and Stanton Lake. Near the northern edge of Warsaw, the terrain is defined by an intricate network of drainage features like Heeter Ditch and Hickman Ditch, which support the region's agricultural and municipal development. The mapping shows a distinct transition from the dense street grid of Leesburg and the shores of Pike Lake to the more open residential clusters around Oswego and Monoquet.

Local history is preserved in the naming of several public landings and lakefront parks, such as Stoneburner Landing, Osborn Landing, and DeFries Landing. The northern reach of the Warsaw Municipal Airport appears alongside family-named landmarks like Groves Cem. This survey illustrates how the natural hydrology of Kosciusko County has been managed through ditches and channels, including the Old Channel Kankakee River, to accommodate both aviation and lakeside recreation.
