2010 Map of Monon

About this map

Monon anchors the northeastern corner of this White County landscape, where the grid of rural roads meets the intricate network of agricultural drainage channels that define the region's hydrology. The map details a transition from the structured residential blocks of Monon and Reynolds to a vast expanse of farmland crisscrossed by named watercourses like Hoagland Ditch and Blanchard Ditch. These man-made and improved natural channels, including Honey Creek, reveal the intensive engineering required to manage the prairie’s water table for cultivation. Scattered throughout the quadrangle are vital markers of early settlement and community life, such as Palestine Cemetery and Swisher Cemetery, alongside more modern infrastructure like Klopfenstein Airport. Near the southern edge, the small community of Seafield sits along the road network, illustrating the persistent, quiet presence of these railway-era hamlets within the modern Indiana agricultural heartland.
