2013 Map of Galveston

About this map

The town of Galveston serves as the central hub for this agricultural portion of northern Indiana, where a complex network of drainage infrastructure has shaped the productive landscape. Numerous named waterways like the Manson Kingery Ditch and Henry Gilbert Ditch reflect the historical engineering required to manage the wetlands surrounding the S Fork Deer Cr. To the north, the community of Lincoln sits along the rail line, while residential growth is evident near Brookside and the southern edge of the quadrangle. Aviation history is quietly preserved here through local facilities such as Caldwell Field Airport and Rockey's Air Strip Airport. The map traces the transition from the town's core at Main St to the sprawling farms defined by family-named ditches like Charles Templeton Ditch and McKay Dredge Ditch.
