About this map

Reedville Station and Carrollton anchor the central portion of this 2010 landscape, where the rural grid of Hancock County meets a complex network of agricultural drainage. The area is defined by its numerous small burial grounds, including the Little Sugar Creek Cemetery and Concord Cemetery, which serve as vital markers for local genealogists. The terrain is heavily modified by an extensive system of man-made waterways like Ashcraft Ditch and Thompson Ditch, which channel water toward natural courses like Brandywine Creek.

Fountaintown sits at a crossroads further east, surrounded by namesake features like Snail Creek and Sexton Ditch. This map illustrates the intersection of traditional Indiana farming layouts with modern infrastructure, such as Osgood Field and the water management site at Stucker Fork Structure Number 15. The concentration of family-named cemeteries such as Pelham Cemetery and Ellis Cemetery provides a clear view into the region's early settlement patterns and lineage.
