About this map

Mt Gilboa and Mt Nebo rise as subtle elevations above the engineered drainage landscape of rural Indiana near the border of Jasper Co and Benton Co. This territory is defined by an extensive network of human-made waterways designed to manage the agricultural heartland, including the Kirkpatrick Ditch, Lague Ditch, and Ferry Ditch. These channels feed into natural watercourses like Carpenter Cr and the larger Big Pine Creek.

The presence of Ashby Airport amid these rectilinear grid roads—such as E 700 N and E 400 N—illustrates the modern aviation infrastructure supporting this remote farming region. The map provides a meticulous record of the Public Land Survey System, clearly marking township and range divisions like t26n r7w and t27n r6w, which dictate the geometric layout of farms and local transport routes in this part of the state.
