About this map

Agricultural fields and a sophisticated network of drainage ditches define the landscape at the Benton and Warren County line. Central to this rural expanse is the small community of Chatterton, situated near the headwaters of W Fork Kickapoo Cr. The territory is primarily organized around the townships of t23n r7w and t24n r7w, where the presence of numerous small family burial grounds like Griffin Cem, Mound Cem, and Quaker Cem suggests generations of local farming history.

Water management is the dominant topographical feature, with named channels such as Harrington Ditch, Bartondale Ditch, and Clawson Ditch engineered to navigate the flat terrain. Local transit and aviation also leave their mark, from the isolated Cottingham Airport to the wetland ecology of Cranberry Marsh in the northeast corner near Foresman. This modern survey provides a detailed look at how historical property lines and natural watercourses like Big Pine Creek continue to shape Indiana's prairie farmlands.
