2016 Map of Nappanee East

About this map

The agricultural landscape along the Elkhart Co Kosciusko Co line is defined by an intricate network of drainage systems essential to Northern Indiana farming. Waterways such as Berlin Court Grand Ditch, Omar Neff Ditch, and Fisher-Gordon Ditch crisscross the terrain, showing how early 21st-century land management maintains the region's productivity. While the eastern edge of Nappanee anchors the northwest corner of this sheet, smaller rural communities like Gravelton and Hastings provide focal points for local history. Genealogists will find the locations of Brumbaugh Cem and Island Cem valuable for tracing family roots in the area. The presence of the Nappanee Municipal Airport and a strictly rectilinear grid of county roads, including Co RD 50 and W 1250 N, illustrates the intersection of modern infrastructure with traditional midwestern agrarian life.
