About this map

The town of Morocco serves as the focal point of this Newton County landscape, where the grid of W Beaver St and N Main St meets the agricultural expanse of northwestern Indiana. This 2019 survey reveals a highly managed hydrological system, essential for the local farming economy. An intricate network of man-made waterways, including Deardurff Ditch, Salisbury Ditch, and Shuey Ditch, crisscrosses the township to drain the low-lying terrain into Beaver Creek.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of rural burial sites like Oakland Cem and Porter Cem, alongside the small settlement of Beaver City. The northwestern corner is dominated by the waters of J C Murphey Lake, illustrating the intersection of conserved wetlands and the surrounding rural infrastructure. These details document the continued reliance on drainage engineering to maintain the viability of the region's productive plains.
