2010 Map of Medaryville

About this map

Medaryville serves as the primary hub in this corner of Northwest Indiana, where a highly engineered landscape of drainage ditches and laterals reflects a history of reclaiming fertile farmland from wetlands. Names like Stump Slough Ditch, Salrin and Cox Ditch, and Ryan Ditch trace the intricate system of water management that defines the rural character of Pulaski County. Outside the main settlement, smaller locales like Asphaltum and Baileys Corner anchor the grid of country roads. For genealogists, the map preserves the exact locations of several local burial grounds, including Saint Henrys Cemetery and Saint Marks Cemetery just north of town, alongside the more isolated Robinson Cemetery and Mason Cemetery to the south. This network of lateral drains and family-named ditches provides a blueprint of the region's agricultural development into the early 21st century.
