About this map

Badger Grove and the small crossroads of Cairo anchor this section of the Indiana plains along the boundary of White and Tippecanoe Counties. The landscape is defined by a systematic network of agricultural drainage, featuring named waterways like Chilton Ditch, Myers Ditch, and Brown Ditch that feed into Burnett Creek and Indian Creek. These engineered channels illustrate the long-term conversion of this region into highly productive farmland.

In the southeast, the quiet settlement of Octagon and the Liberty Chapel Cemetery provide points of interest for genealogists tracing local family histories. Near the northern edge, State Road 18 and the Shultz Private Airport highlight the modern transportation infrastructure that serves these rural communities. The map detail reflects a steady rural character where section lines and county roads maintain the original land survey grid.
