About this map

Big Monon Ditch and its many tributaries, including Harp Ditch and Beaver-Ditch, define the agricultural hydrology of this landscape along the border of Pulaski and White Counties. This 2022 survey reveals a complex network of artificial drainage essential to the regional farming economy, with numerous named waterways like Stout Ditch and Weltzin Ditch feeding into the larger system of Big Monon Cr.

In the northwestern corner, Roseland Cem serves as a primary point of interest for genealogists and local historians, while the northern edge of Monon appears at the southern map boundary. The landscape is meticulously organized by the Public Land Survey System, with roads such as Co RD 1000 S and N State Rd 39 following the section lines. This grid-based development illustrates how the drainage of wetlands transformed the territory into productive acreage, a process recorded through dozens of named ditches such as Brown Ditch and Pelsy Ditch.
