2019 Map of Boswell

About this map

Boswell anchors the southeast corner of this western Indiana landscape, serving as a hub for a network of rural hamlets and agricultural drainage systems. The survey reveals a structured grid of county roads, such as W Division Rd and W 600 S, connecting small settlements like Freeland Park, Dunnington, and Talbot. This region is defined by its extensive water management, where numerous engineered waterways like Gretencord Ditch, Minier Lateral, and Finigan Ditch channel water through the township toward larger natural flows like the N Fork Vermilion River and Goose Cr. The distribution of these small, named locales—including Free, Dunn, and Handy—suggests a history of rail-side or crossroads development in a region dedicated to large-scale prairie farming, where every section is meticulously delineated for drainage and transit.
