2022 Map of McCoysburg

About this map

Pleasant Ridge and McCoysburg anchor this rural Jasper County landscape, where the flat terrain is defined by an extensive network of drainage infrastructure designed to manage the fertile lowlands. The upper reaches of the Iroquois River and Slough Creek are joined by numerous named man-made channels, including Sage Ditch, Moore Ditch, and Ryan Ditch, reflecting a long history of water management for agricultural use. For family historians, this area is notable for its numerous small burial sites scattered across the township lines, such as Smith Cem, Brown Cem, and Parkison Cem. These landmarks, often situated along rural routes like W Moody Rd or Co Rd 550, provide a clear picture of the early settlement patterns and the enduring importance of family-named landmarks in this part of Indiana.
