About this map

North Liberty serves as the primary hub of this landscape, situated at the junction of several drainage networks and local thoroughfares. To the north, the settlement of Crumstown anchors the upper reaches of the map near the Crumstown Hwy. The terrain is defined by a dense system of agricultural drainage, including the Kankakee River, Potato Cr, and numerous named ditches like Dixon West Place Ditch and Geyer Ditch. This network reflects the heavy engineering required to manage the wetlands for farming in St. Joseph County.

Several small lakes dot the region, such as Sousley Lake, Rupel Lake, and Elizabeth Lake, providing local landmarks and recreation points. A unique feature in the central-western portion of the map is the Stewarts Green Acres Airport, a small airfield located amidst the fields north of Potato Cr. The map captures the area's transition from open farmland to organized rural residential pockets, tied together by a grid of roads named for local families and natural features.
