2010 Map of Linn Grove

About this map

The Wabash River meanders diagonally across this portion of Wells County, shaping the settlement patterns of Vera Cruz and Linn Grove. This landscape is defined by an extensive network of drainage infrastructure, such as Markley Ditch, Meyer Ditch, and Breiner Joint Ditch, which converted the natural wetlands into productive agricultural territory. Smaller communities like Riverside sit near the riverbanks, while the rural interior is dotted with significant family and community landmarks. Genealogists will find a high density of burial sites throughout the township, including Saint Johns Cemetery, Greenwood Cemetery, and the Beibersteine Cemetery. The map also details local water bodies like Kunkel Lake and Meyer Lake, illustrating the careful balance between the region's hydraulic engineering and its remaining natural basins.
