About this map

Foresman and Chatterton anchor this survey of the agricultural landscape in rural Benton County, Indiana. The map reveals an intricate network of water management features essential to the region's productive farmland, including the extensive Harrington Ditch, Woodham Ditch, and Clawson Ditch which feed into the primary natural drainage of Big Pine Cr and Kickapoo Cr.

A network of numbered county roads and regional arteries like the Independence-Pine Village Rd provides the primary infrastructure for the scattered farmsteads and rural residences. Central to the local transport and aviation history of the area is Cottingham Airport, a notable landmark positioned south of Chatterton. The landscape remains largely defined by the confluence of these man-made ditches and natural watercourses, illustrating the enduring relationship between the local drainage systems and Midwestern agriculture.
