2019 Map of Kirkpatrick

About this map

Kirkpatrick stands as the central hub of this agricultural landscape along the border of Montgomery and Tippecanoe Counties. This 2019 survey reflects a meticulously gridded drainage and transportation network, where the intricate system of ditches and creeks is vital to the local farming economy. Waterways like the Romney Fraley Ditch and Stock Farm Ditch feed into larger arteries such as Lye Creek and Sugar Creek at the southern edge of the quadrangle. Genealogists can locate family landmarks in the area, including the Peterson Cem and Rice Cem, which remain as quiet anchors of local history amidst the sprawling fields. The map captures the persistence of traditional land divisions, from the established township and range lines to the rural road grid, exemplified by names like Bowers Rd and Co RD 1100 N.
