About this map

Fulton stands at the heart of this Indiana landscape, where the intersection of State Rd 114 and Main Street serves as a focal point for the surrounding agricultural district. The terrain is characterized by an intricate network of drainage systems, including the Rentschler Ditch and Costello Ditch, which manage the low-lying areas around the Fulton and Cass County line. These man-made waterways, often bearing family names like the Sylvester Maroney Ditch and Kern Neff Ditch, illustrate the long-term engineering required to sustain productive farming in this region.

Genealogists will find several small burial grounds scattered across the townships, from the Salem Cem in the north to the Reed Cem near the settlement of Fletcher. The presence of the Friedrich Airport and the Dague Strip highlights the local importance of private aviation in rural North Central Indiana. To the south, Fletcher Lake and the winding course of Grassy Cr offer a break from the rectilinear grid of county roads.
