2010 Map of Wanatah

About this map

Wanatah serves as the central hub of this agricultural landscape in Porter and LaPorte counties, where the intersection of major roads and drainage networks defines the local geography. The settlement patterns extend to South Wanatah and the small community of Haskell to the north. Water management is a primary feature of the terrain, visible through an extensive system of engineered waterways such as Greiger Ditch, Slocum Ditch, and Koselke Ditch, which support the surrounding farmland. Aviation history and local transit are represented by the Porter County Municipal Airport and the smaller Wyckoff Airstrip. Genealogists and local historians can locate established burial grounds like Luther Cemetery and Sacred Heart Cemetery, providing clear geographic markers for family research in this part of Northwest Indiana.
