The Kankakee River creates a natural boundary between Lake and Newton counties, defining the marshy lowland character of this Northwest Indiana region. Settled communities like Schneider and Lake Village are connected by the long north-south corridor of Wicker Ave, while Sumava Resorts sits tucked against the river's edge. The landscape is heavily engineered for agriculture, crisscrossed by a complex drainage network including the Singleton Ditch, Beaver Lake Ditch, and Lawler Ditch.
