About this map

Fowler serves as the prominent northern hub of this Benton County landscape, where a precise grid of numbered streets like E 6th St and E Main St anchors the local commerce. The surrounding terrain is defined by a sophisticated agricultural drainage system, including Humbert Ditch, Wattles Ditch, and Seamans Ditch, which channel water toward larger arteries like Mud Pine Creek. These waterworks highlight the intensive land management required for the region's productive prairie soils.

Smaller settlements and rural junctions like Swanington, Chase, and Fargo are interspersed among the larger towns of Boswell and Oxford. For those researching local lineages, the map identifies several burial grounds including Boswell Cem, Oxford Cem, and Perigo Cem. The layout of the roads follows a strict section-line hierarchy, illustrating the enduring influence of the Public Land Survey System on the Indiana countryside.
