2010 Map of Darrow

About this map

Sugar Creek and its tributary Mud Creek meander through this agricultural landscape on the Illinois-Indiana border, defining the drainage patterns of the southern Iroquois County area. The small settlements of Darrow and Cutmer serve as the primary local hubs, connected by a precise grid of rural roads like E 1100 North Rd and N 2700 East Rd. This 2010 survey illustrates the persistence of small-scale infrastructure, including the private Disosway Airport and several historic burial sites such as Fleming Cemetery and Blue Ridge Cemetery. The terrain is characterized by a managed water system, where natural flows are supplemented by engineered waterways like Possum Trot Ditch and Sheldon Ditch Number 1, reflecting the region's long-standing reliance on effective field drainage for successful cultivation.
