About this map

Idaville and the surrounding agricultural lands of White County are defined by a complex network of man-made drainage ditches and natural creeks. This 2019 survey captures the modern rural landscape where the small settlements of Bell Center and Sitka anchor the northern and western reaches of the quadrangle. The terrain is crisscrossed by an extensive grid of country roads, including E 400 N and E 500 N, which facilitate movement between the scattered farmsteads and small communities.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the distribution of several community burial grounds, such as Idaville Cem, Warden Cem, and Leazenby Cem, which are tucked between the fields and waterways. The hydraulic management of the area is evident in named features like Ackerman Ditch, Burgett Ditch, and Suits Ditch, illustrating how the land has been engineered for production. Significant natural watercourses like Pike Cr and Rattlesnake Cr wind through the township boundaries of t28n r3w and t27n r2w.
