About this map

Ligonier serves as the central hub of this survey, where the Elkhart River and its branches wind through the town center and surrounding northern Indiana farmland. The landscape is defined by its numerous glacial water bodies, ranging from larger recreational spots like Diamond Lake and Sparta Lake to smaller features such as Davis Lake and Eagle Lake. To the south, the settlements of Cromwell and Kimmell are positioned along local thoroughfares, separated by the winding path of Solomon Creek.

The local topography is punctuated by distinctive rises such as The Knobs in the northeast and Diamond Hill near the lake of the same name. Industrial and transportation infrastructure is evident in the street grid of Ligonier, featuring historical references like Depot St, and the aviation presence at Hull Airport to the northwest. A network of agricultural ditches, including Smalley Ditch and Jacobs Ditch, illustrates the region's managed drainage system that supports the local economy and rural land use.
