About this map

Hillisburg and Scircleville anchor the center of this Midwestern agricultural landscape in Clinton County, reflecting the deep-seated grid system of Indiana's rural townships. The settlement of Forest sits at the northern edge, connected to its neighbors by a network of county roads like Co RD-1000s and Co RD-900. The terrain is defined by a dense system of managed waterways and natural streams that support the surrounding farmland.

Water management is the primary topographical feature here, with numerous named drainage channels such as Cripe Sandlin Ditch, Scott Wincoop Ditch, and Paris Ditch crisscrossing the fields. These man-made improvements weave between natural courses like S Fork Wildcat Cr and Kilmore Cr, illustrating the intensive modification of the local hydrology to sustain the region's long-standing agricultural productivity.
