2013 Map of Brookston NW

About this map

Reynolds occupies the northeast corner of this White County landscape, serving as a primary point of human settlement in an area otherwise dominated by a complex network of agricultural water management. The terrain is defined by a grid-like system of ditches and natural creek beds that highlight the engineering required for farming in this part of Indiana. Significant waterways like Big Cr and Honey Cr are augmented by numerous man-made channels including Scipio Ditch, Fraser Ditch, and Bell Ditch. This 2013 survey illustrates how modern rural infrastructure follows early section lines, with roads like W Smithson Rd and W Shoop Rd cutting across a drainage system that includes Dorsey Ditch and Hoagland Ditch. The map provides a clear record of the precise hydrological footprint of the region at the start of the twenty-first century.
