2016 Map of Rutland

About this map

Argos sits at the northeastern corner of this Marshall County landscape, where the grain-growing plains of northern Indiana are defined by an intricate network of drainage systems. The transition from Marshall Co into Fulton Co to the south reveals a terrain of glacially formed depressions and watercourses like Clifton Ditch and Wolf Cr. Small settlements such as Richland Center and Rutland anchor a grid of rural roads named for trees and nuts, including Nutmeg Rd and Peach Rd. This 2016 survey illustrates the persistent agricultural character of the region, where numerous named ditches like the B F Overmyer Ditch and Miller Ditch manage the water table around scattered kettle lakes. Pockets of standing water, including O'Blennis Lake, Zink Lake, and Mud Lake, remain as significant landmarks amidst the structured farm plots and local air strips like DDT Field.
