2016 Map of Monon

About this map

Monon anchors the northeastern corner of this White County landscape, where the town's grid meets an extensive network of drainage infrastructure essential to Indiana's agricultural history. The territory is defined by an intricate system of man-made waterways, including Blanchard Ditch, Robinson Ditch, and McKillip Ditch, which redirect water across the flat terrain of the Jasper and White County line. These channels, along with Honey Creek, illustrate the engineered nature of the regional watershed. To the south, the settlements of Seafield and Reynolds sit along the lower edge of the survey, connected by a rigid section-line road system. Local history is preserved in several rural burial grounds scattered across the townships, such as Monon Cemetery, the remote Palestine Cemetery to the west, and Swisher Cemetery located near the center of the quadrangle.
