2016 Map of Gaston

About this map

The agricultural landscape of Delaware County is defined by an extensive drainage network along the border with Madison County. This 2016 survey shows the town of Gaston in the east, while smaller settlements like Janney and Bethel anchor the northern and southern reaches of the map. The terrain is notably flat, characterized by a complex system of man-made and natural waterways including Hoppas Ditch, Richard Ditch, and Yeager Finley Manard Ditch. These engineered channels intersect with traditional streams like Pipe Cr and Killbuck Creek, reflecting the region's long history of land management for farming. Genealogists can locate family landmarks such as Walker Cem and Thompson Cem, while environmental features like Old Prairie Swamp and Jackson Lake persist amidst the grid of country roads.
