2013 Map of Medaryville

About this map

Medaryville serves as the primary population center in this corner of Pulaski County, where a grid of streets including W Main St and National St meets a landscape defined by an extensive drainage network. This 2013 survey illustrates a region heavily modified for agriculture, characterized by a complex system of artificial waterways such as Stump Slough Ditch, Hansell Ditch, and Selmer Ditch. These ditches, along with various named laterals and arms like the Rufus Rayburn Arm, suggest a long history of land reclamation to support the surrounding rural economy. Small settlements and named junctions like Asphaltum and Baileys Corner anchor the western reaches of the quadrangle. A notable concentration of small airfields, including Tatertown Airport, Antonian Airport, and the whimsically named Alley Oop Airport, points to the importance of private aviation in managing these large agricultural tracts.
