About this map

The town of Kirklin serves as a focal point in this 2016 survey, where N Michigan Rd and E Pike St intersect to define the local grid. This landscape at the border of Clinton Co and Boone Co is characterized by an intricate network of agricultural drainage, including the McClamrock Ditch and Snodgrass Ditch, which manage the flow toward Sugar Creek. These engineered waterways reflect the region's deep-rooted farming heritage, systematically partitioning the terrain into productive sections.

Genealogists and local historians can locate several rural burial grounds, such as Oak Hill Cem and the Stowers Cem near the center of the sheet. The map also traces the smaller settlements of Pickard, Terhune, and Elizaville, which anchor the surrounding rural landscape. The transition between Clinton and Boone counties is clearly marked, showing how local transit routes like S Main St and Strawtown Rd connect these outlying communities.
