Oh contrear, Bee Dubya.

Both the Elkhart and the St. Joseph flow nearby. In fact, the Elkhart flows into the St. Joe, merging at -- you guessed, Elkhart! And there are the Wabash and the Tippecanoe and the Yellow and the Red and the White and the Blue rivers, but they're not near where you were, but further south. There are also creeks, cricks, brooks, runs, and other mini-riverine features nearly too numerous to mention and so, not to bore you with such place names as Laughery Creek and Little Laughery Creek and Cedar Creek and so on I won't name them. I'd mention the Ohio River as well, but it doesn't flow through the state of Indiana.*















*The northern boundary of Kentucky is defined as the high water mark on the northern bank of the Ohio River. Thus the Ohio doesn't flow through Indiana. This was brought to Indiana's attention when Indiana first proposed riverboat gambling on the Ohio, and the governor of Kentucky threatened to confiscate what would be illegal gambling boats. The best that Indiana could do, under the law, was gambling canoes. This has since been changed and you can gamble on a boat on the Indiana side of the Ohio River now, if you want to bother to do so.
