About this map

Morocco serves as the primary hub of this northwestern Indiana landscape, characterized by a highly developed network of agricultural drainage systems. The surrounding countryside is defined by an intricate grid of ditches, including Narrows Ditch, Sheep Ditch, and Deardurff Ditch, which manage the water levels of the low-lying terrain around Beaver Creek. To the north, the waters of J C Murphey Lake dominate the corner of the sheet, while the smaller Cory Lake sits west of the main settlement.

Genealogists will find a wealth of local markers throughout the township. Smaller communities like Beaver City are documented alongside several rural burying grounds, such as Russell Chapel Cemetery, Prairie Vine Cemetery, and Oakland Cemetery. The transition of regional infrastructure is evident in the alignment of Old US Hwy 41, showing the evolution of the primary north-south corridor through Newton County.
