About this map

Burnettsville anchors the southwestern corner of this survey, straddling the line between White and Cass Counties during the early 1960s. The landscape is defined by an extensive network of managed waterways, including Timmons Ditch, Burgett Ditch, and Kennel Ditch, which drain the agricultural plains of Boone, Jefferson, and Jackson townships. This engineering is essential to the region's productivity, supporting the rural homesteads connected by a rigid grid of gravel and paved roads.

In the northeast, Royal Center serves as a secondary hub, where the High Sch and local industry intersect with the regional drainage system. Genealogists will find several family and community burial sites, such as Zion Cem and Thompson Cem. To the southeast, the terrain shifts near the basin of Lake Cicott, where the Pennsylvania railroad line runs parallel to a unique Micro-Midget Racetrack, signaling a mid-century era of local recreation and transportation transit.
