About this map

The Benton County Courthouse stands as the central landmark of Fowler, the primary hub of this Benton County landscape. The map illustrates a highly organized agricultural grid defined by numerous drainage systems such as Humbert Ditch, Wattles Ditch, and Seamans Ditch, which manage the water levels of Mud Cr and Mud Pine Cr. These waterworks reflect the region's intensive land management for farming.

Smaller settlements and railroad-aligned communities like Swanington, Chase, and Fargo are distributed across the township lines of t25n r8w and t24n r8w. For those researching local family history, several burial grounds are documented, including Boswell Cem, Perigo Cem, and Oxford Cem. The infrastructure is rounded out by a network of state and county roads, such as W State Rd 18, connecting the larger towns of Boswell and Oxford at the sheet's southern edge.
