About this map

The Elkhart River winds through the northern portion of this Noble County landscape, anchoring the settlement of Ligonier. This area is characterized by a dense network of glacial lakes and wetlands, including Diamond Lake, Eagle Lake, and Engle Lake, which are connected by a system of drainage ditches such as Smalley Ditch and the Sparta Lake Ditch. The terrain varies from the low-lying Red Marsh to localized elevations like The Knobs and Diamond Hill.

Further south, the small communities of Cromwell and Kimmell sit along the primary road corridors. For those researching local history, the map provides precise locations for Oak Park Cem and Valley Cem, as well as the Hull Airport north of town. The intricate hydrography, featuring both the North Branch Elkhart River and South Branch Elkhart River, illustrates the complex water management of this agricultural and residential region.
