2010 Map of Kirkpatrick

About this map

Kirkpatrick serves as the central hub for this agricultural portion of Montgomery County, where the landscape is defined by a dense network of water management features and rural infrastructure. The northern reaches include the Purdue University Experimental Farm, an indication of the region's long-standing connection to agricultural science and education. Waterways such as the East Branch Wea Creek and Little Potato Creek meander through the prairie, often supplemented by man-made drainage systems like the Stock Farm Ditch and Romney Fraley Ditch. These ditches reflect the effort to reclaim and manage the rich Indiana soil for large-scale farming. For those tracing family histories, local heritage is preserved at the Peterson Cemetery and Rice Cemetery, both established within the grid of section roads that crisscross the countryside. The map documents a classic Midwestern rural layout where development remains concentrated around established family-named landmarks and historical burial grounds.
