About this map

The Tippecanoe River meanders through this north-central Indiana landscape, where the town of Mentone serves as a local hub. The map captures a detailed drainage network essential to the region's agricultural character, featuring numerous man-made channels like Clarence Baker Ditch and Welch Ditch. These waterways weave between established settlements and quiet crossroads, illustrating the engineering required to manage the area's hydrology.

Genealogists can trace local history through several burial sites, including the Independent Order of Odd Fellows Cem and the Sycamore Cem. The presence of Old Tip Town and the village of Tippecanoe reflect the area's river-linked development. Further south, the settlement of Sevastopol and the Mentone Airport provide clear landmarks among the section-line roads, such as Apple Rd and W State Rd 25, which define the rural grid.
