About this map

Fulton and the nearby settlement of Marshtown anchor this 1960 landscape along the border of Fulton and Cass Counties. The area is defined by an intricate network of drainage systems designed to manage the flat Indiana terrain, including the Wilson Friedrick Ditch, Grube Ditch, and Ulch Ditch. These man-made channels intersect with natural waterways like Mill Creek and Grassy Creek, illustrating the extensive mid-century efforts to reclaim and maintain agricultural land.

Transport and community life are marked by the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad line running diagonally through the territory, passing near the Olive Branch Ch. Several small burial grounds, such as Salem Cem, Smalley Cem, and Reed Cem, are scattered across the townships of Wayne, Liberty, and Union, providing specific points of interest for genealogists tracing local families in this rural corridor. In the southern portion, Fletcher Lake serves as a prominent natural landmark near the county line.
