2016 Map of Markle

About this map

The Wabash River carves through the center of this landscape, defining the character of the town of Markle and the surrounding borderlands of Huntington and Wells counties. This 2016 survey shows a region deeply shaped by its drainage network, where natural waterways like Rock Creek and Flat Cr are supplemented by an intricate system of man-made channels such as Griffin Ditch and Redding Ditch. These features reflect the long-standing agricultural focus of the area, facilitating the productivity of the plains surrounding the river valley.
