2013 Map of Miami

About this map

Miami and Bennetts Switch anchor this agricultural landscape in north-central Indiana, where a dense network of drainage channels illustrates the region's managed hydrology. Small rural clusters like Wawpecong and Cassville are linked by a precise grid of county roads, showing the persistent settlement patterns of the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. The importance of agricultural land management is evident in the numerous named waterways, including Klise Ditch, Wise Ditch, and Grinslade Ditch, which channel water toward natural courses like Deer Cr. To the south, the Kokomo Municipal Airport represents a modern transition from the surrounding farmsteads. The confluence of named ditches such as the Matthew-Anaker Ditch and the winding S Fork Deer Cr highlights the complex intersection of man-made irrigation and natural creek beds in this part of Howard and Miami Counties.
