About this map

Topeka serves as the central hub of this northern Indiana landscape, where the grid of Co RD 800 S and Indiana St meets a complex network of agricultural drainage and natural waterways. The geography is defined by the Little Elkhart River and its various tributaries, including Emma Creek and Farver Ditch, which dictate the placement of rural settlements like Honeyville and Emma.

Genealogists and local researchers will find a significant concentration of burial sites throughout the townships, such as Eden Cem, Gerber Cem, and Hawpatch Cem, often situated near the boundaries of LaGrange Co and Noble Co. The map also details local aviation history at Miller Field and the persistence of small community centers in a region historically shaped by its agricultural productivity and water management systems like the Hostetler Ditch and Rowe-Eden Ditch.
