2010 Map of Mentone

About this map

Tippecanoe River meanders through this portion of Marshall and Kosciusko counties, anchoring a landscape defined by its agricultural heritage and early settlement history. The village of Mentone serves as the local hub, while the presence of Old Tip Town and the crossroads at Sevastopol reflect the area's rural development patterns. Genealogists will find considerable value in the documentation of several local burial grounds, including the Independent Order of Odd Fellows Cemetery, Yellow Creek Cemetery, and Sycamore Cemetery. The terrain is significantly shaped by a network of drainage systems such as Little Yellow Creek, Moore Ditch, and Clarence Baker Ditch, illustrating the mid-century transformation of the northern Indiana wetlands into productive farmland. From the Summit Chapel in the north to the Mentone Airport further south, the map details the transition from traditional river-bound settlements to a grid of modern county roads.
