About this map

North Manchester anchors the southern portion of this landscape, where the Eel River winds through the borderlands of Kosciusko and Wabash counties. The terrain is defined by an intricate network of waterways and managed drainage, including Trimble Creek, Plunge Creek, and Peterson Ditch. Significant local landmarks for genealogists include Gospel Hill Cemetery near Beigh Lake and Clemmers Fishers Cemetery situated further east near the section lines of T31N R7E.

The northern reaches are dominated by agricultural plots and rural roads like State Road 14, while the southern edge shows the street grid of North Manchester near Oaklawn Cemetery. The map captures the specialized hydrology of the region, featuring numerous named ditches such as Arthur Ditch and Swank Creek, which reflect the historic drainage efforts necessary for farming this corner of Indiana.
