About this map

Kirklin serves as the primary hub of this agricultural landscape in Clinton County, where the intersection of State Road 38 and U.S. Route 421 forms the town's core. The map documents a highly engineered drainage system essential for the region's productive farmland, featuring an extensive network of named waterways like McClamrock Ditch, Stoker Ditch, and Loucks Ditch. These man-made channels support the natural flow of Sugar Cr and Cicero Cr, reflecting a long history of water management in Central Indiana.

Smaller rural settlements such as Terhune and Pickard are visible along the county line, while the southern edge touches Elizaville. Local history and genealogy researchers can trace the old grid of gravel and paved roads, including the evocatively named Punkinvine Rd. The map illustrates a landscape where small-town life remains deeply integrated with the surrounding fields and timbered stream banks.
