About this map

The town of Morocco serves as the central hub for this portion of Newton County, where the street grid transitions into a vast network of agricultural drainage. The landscape is defined by an intricate system of man-made waterways including Salisbury Ditch, Sheep Ditch, and Deardurff Ditch, which were engineered to manage the low-lying prairie land. To the northwest, J C Murphey Lake provides a major hydrographic landmark, while smaller features like Cory Lake are tucked into the sections.

Evidence of historical rural centers is found at Beaver City, located south of the main township. The map details the local road network with precision, showing the intersection of E State St and N Main St in the heart of Morocco. This survey illustrates the persistence of family-named landmarks in the rural landscape, from Thompson Ditch to Zaborosky Ditch, reflecting the lineage of the farmers who shaped this corner of Indiana.
