2013 Map of Linn Grove

About this map

The Wabash River carves a diagonal path through this Wells County landscape, anchoring the historic river settlements of Vera Cruz and Linn Grove. In the northern reach, Riverside sits near the river's bend, while Kunkel Lake and Meyer Lakes break the uniform grid of agricultural tracts. The map reveals an intricate network of drainage systems essential to this region's farming heritage, including the Breiner Joint Ditch, Hierly Ditch, and Moser Ditch. Numerous family-run agricultural operations are identified by name, such as Tri Oaks Farm, Solid Rock Farms, and the S and G Poultry Farm. This 2013 survey provides a clear view of the area's transition from riparian woods along Sixmile Cr and Threemile Cr to the expansive, ditch-drained fields that define the modern rural economy of Indiana's eastern borderlands.
