About this map

Foresman and the rural crossroads of Chatterton anchor this corner of the Indiana plains, where the land is defined by a dense network of drainage channels and small creeks. The topography reflects an engineered agricultural landscape, with Brown Ditch, Harrington Ditch, and Little Blind Ditch cutting across the survey lines to manage the watershed of Big Pine Creek and Kickapoo Creek.

For family historians, the area is notable for its numerous small burial grounds, including Griffin Cemetery, Mound Cemetery, Harman Cemetery, and Quaker Cemetery, often located near the original farmstead boundaries. The presence of Smith Brothers Airport and the winding N Independence Pine Village Rd shows the intersection of modern utility with the traditional grid system that has organized this part of Benton County for generations.
