2019 Map of McCoysburg

About this map

Pleasant Ridge and McCoysburg anchor this rural landscape in Jasper County, where the transition from natural waterways to an engineered drainage system is clearly visible. The Iroquois River and Slough Creek are joined by an extensive network of man-made channels such as Moore Ditch, Ryan Ditch, and Sage Ditch, reflecting a long history of agricultural land reclamation. For those researching local families, the map is a significant resource, documenting several small burial grounds scattered across the townships, including Smith Cem, Hankle Cem, and Parkison Cem. The rigid grid of county roads, such as Co RD 550 and S Meridian Rd, structures the territory, while the southern portion of the quadrangle shows the winding path of Slough Creek as it moves toward the western boundary.
