2019 Map of Mongo

About this map

Brighton, Mongo, and Plato anchor this portion of LaGrange County, characterized by a complex network of glacial wetlands and water bodies. The Pigeon River flows through the central landscape, managed at Nasby Dam and surrounded by extensive marshlands including Massasauga Marsh, D Marsh North, and Pike Marsh. These wetlands are punctuated by numerous lakes such as Cedar Lake and Duff Lake, reflecting the post-glacial topography of northern Indiana. Notable for genealogists, several local burial sites are mapped, including Bontrager Cem, Eagle Cem, and the K of P Cem. A prominent topographical feature, The Knob, rises south of the river valley, providing a distinct landmark in an otherwise gently undulating terrain. The northern edge of the sheet is traversed by the Indiana Toll Road, marked as 80 90, illustrating the modern transit corridor cutting through this rural environment.
