About this map

The town of Nappanee anchors this portion of Northern Indiana, where the borders of Elkhart, Marshall, Kosciusko, and St. Joseph counties converge. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of drainage systems essential to the region's agricultural productivity, including the Sarah Hershberger Ditch, Walter Wisler Ditch, and the Berlin Court Grand Ditch. To the northwest lies the small settlement of Locke, while the Middle Fork Yellow River winds through the southwestern quadrant.

Historical transportation routes are visible through the Plymouth Goshen Trl and the grid of county roads that partition the farmland. The presence of Creighton Airport and various named waterways like Hepler Ditch and Whisler Ditch reflect the ongoing management of the low-lying terrain. This survey provides a clear view of the rural-to-urban transition as the town's residential streets, such as Baltimore Ave and W Market St, meet the surrounding fields.
