2022 Map of Twelve Mile

About this map

Twelve Mile serves as a northern focal point in this Cass County landscape, where the town's namesake Twelve Mile Creek and its various branches, including the East Branch, carve a network through the agricultural flats. The map traces the southeastern progression of the terrain toward the Eel River and the Wabash River, which define the southern corridor near New Waverly. This area reflects a deep-rooted rural infrastructure, connected by a rigid grid of county roads and punctuated by small historic settlements like Hoover. Genealogists will find a significant concentration of burial sites across the township boundaries, from the northern Mount Carmel Cem to the southern Ever Rest Memorial Park and Williams Cem. The presence of the Peru Municipal Airport near the eastern edge signals the modern transition toward the outskirts of Peru, while numerous drainage features like Ulerich Ditch and Grable Ditch illustrate the long-standing management of the local watershed.
