About this map

Idaville anchors the southern edge of this White County landscape, where the flat agricultural terrain is meticulously organized by a grid of rural roads and an extensive network of drainage systems. Managed waterways such as Ackerman Ditch, Burgett DITCH, and Timmons Ditch underscore the region's reliance on sophisticated water management to sustain its farm fields. Small, localized settlements like Sitka and Bell Center appear as quiet crossroads, marking the slow-paced development of the northern plains.

Genealogists will find this 2010 survey particularly valuable for its precise location of numerous small burial grounds dispersed across the countryside. From the Bell Center Cemetery in the north to the Mitchell Cemetery and State View Cemetery near the southern boundary, these sites offer a direct link to the area's early families. Natural watercourses like Pike Creek and Church Creek wind through the geometric township lines, providing the only variance to the structured section roads.
