2010 Map of Blaine

About this map

Salamonie River meanders across this rural Jay County landscape, providing the primary drainage for a network of agricultural ditches including Walling Ditch and Sipe Ditch. Small, unincorporated settlements like Blaine, Greene, and Como anchor the southern portion of the area, while Kitt and Corkwell sit to the north. The map reveals a high density of family-named burial grounds, such as Whicker Cemetery and Stratton Cemetery, which are vital for genealogical research in this part of Indiana. The terrain is characterized by a precise grid of rural roads, including W Walnut Corner Rd and S Mount Pleasant Rd, connecting isolated farmsteads. Water features such as Elm Brook and Hearne Run break the regularity of the farmland, suggesting the original hydrology before the extensive ditching systems were established to support regional agriculture.
