2012 Map of Darrow

About this map

Darrow and Cutmer anchor this agricultural landscape along the Illinois and Indiana border, where the land is defined by an extensive network of drainage infrastructure. The terrain is crisscrossed by an orderly grid of country roads, such as Co Rd-1600 N and N 3000 E Rd, which navigate around a complex system of waterways designed to manage the fertile prairie. Significant man-made channels like Possum Trot Ditch, Sheldon Ditch Number 1, and Salmon Ditch run alongside natural meanders of Sugar Cr and Coon Cr. For those tracing local heritage, the map identifies family-named landmarks including Fleming Cem and Blue Ridge Cem, which serve as quiet markers of the community's early settlement and history amidst the sprawling farmsteads.
