2013 Map of Mongo

About this map

The Pigeon River meanders through the heart of this LaGrange County landscape, shaping a series of wetlands and managed waters including Massasauga Marsh, Pike Marsh, and Ontario Millpond. The small settlements of Brighton, Mongo, and Plato serve as the primary human hubs in an area dominated by glacial topography and water-resource management. Local infrastructure centers on the river's path, most notably at the Nasby Dam and the Mongo Millpond, which reflect the historic utilization of the local waterways for power and milling. The terrain is largely defined by numerous small water bodies such as Troxel Lake, Cedar Lake, and Weir Lake, interspersed with local landmarks like The Knob and the Yoder Field Airport. A strictly gridded system of rural county roads connects these dispersed points of interest, providing a detailed view of the rural spatial organization in northeastern Indiana.
