About this map

Morocco serves as the primary hub of activity in this northwest Indiana landscape, where a grid of rural section roads meets a network of agricultural drainage systems. The town is home to the Twp Sch, an Athletic Field, and the Murphy Cem. Beyond the town limits, the geography is defined by an extensive drainage system including Lawler Ditch, Salisbury Ditch, and Sheep Ditch, which manage the low-lying plains of Beaver and Jackson townships.

Conservation efforts are evident in the northwest corner with the Willow Slough State Game Preserve and J C Murphey Lake, contrasting the industrial presence of a Gravel Pit and large Storage Bins near the southern edge. Local history is anchored by several family and community burial grounds such as Oakland Cem and Beaver City Cem. Traces of former transport lines appear in the form of an Old Railroad Grade and Old Grade, marking the evolution of Newton County's infrastructure.
