2010 Map of Rutland

About this map

Rutland and the western edge of Argos anchor this northern Indiana landscape, where a sophisticated network of agricultural drainage defines the terrain. The area is marked by numerous man-made waterways such as Clifton Ditch, Warner Ditch, and Leffert Ditch, which redirect water away from the surrounding fields and toward natural features like Wolf Creek and Eddy Creek. These ditches represent a long-standing engineering effort to manage the high water table common in Marshall County. Small glacial remnants persist in the form of isolated water bodies, including Mud Lake, Eddy Lake, and Zink Lake. To the south, the settlement of Richland Center sits at the intersection of a grid-based road system, which reflects the organized land division of the region. This 2010 survey provides a clear view of the balance between small-town residential growth and the essential infrastructure required for modern Indiana farming.
