About this map

Bourbon and Etna Green serve as the primary anchors for this 2010 topographic record of Marshall County agriculture and drainage. The landscape is defined by an extensive, systematic network of waterways including the Lemer-Berger Ditch, Erwin Ditch, and Ridenour Ditch, which channel water toward the meandering Tippecanoe River in the south. These engineered ditches highlight the transformation of the region's hydrology to support fertile farmland.

Local heritage is preserved in several burial grounds, such as Sandridge Cemetery in the north and the Parks Memorial Cemetery and Odd Fellows Cemetery on the outskirts of Bourbon. The map captures the intersection of traditional township roads and modern infrastructure, notably where the Lincoln Highway and various local routes like Chestnut Rd and Apple Rd facilitate movement across the grid-like plains.
