2013 Map of Gaston

About this map

Gaston serves as the primary hub in this portion of Delaware County, centered near the junction of Price Ave and W Elm St. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of agricultural drainage and natural waterways, including Pipe Cr, Polecat Cr, and Killbuck Cr. These water systems, often modified into named ditches like Yeager Finley Manard Ditch and Richard Ditch, illustrate the extensive engineering required to manage the flat till plains for Indiana farming. Small rural clusters like Janney and Bethel anchor the outlying areas, while water bodies such as Emerald Lake and Jackson Lake provide localized geographical markers. The grid of county roads, including Co Line Rd and Co Rd-500, organizes the territory into the traditional township-and-range pattern characteristic of the Midwest during the early 21st century.
