About this map

The Tippecanoe River carves a distinctive path through this White County landscape, widening into Lake Shafer and Lake Freeman. These water bodies serve as the focal point for local development, notably at the Indiana Beach amusement area and the residential clusters of Isle of Homes and Norway. The map reveals a transition from the dense, recreational shorelines of Big Monon Bay and Honey Creek Bay to the expansive, gridded agricultural lands to the west.

Linear drainage features like McKillip Ditch, Hoagland Ditch, and Fraser Ditch dominate the rural interior, illustrating the extensive engineering required to manage the regional water table for farming. Small inland settlements such as Guernsey and the town of Reynolds provide historical context for the area's rail and road network, while the Lakeview County Home stands as a notable civic landmark north of Monticello.
