New Bedford serves as a primary settlement point at the southern edge of this Bureau County landscape, where the flat agricultural terrain is defined by an extensive network of drainage infrastructure. This engineered hydrology, including Main Ditch, Red Oak Ditch, and Baker Creek Ditch, reflects a long-standing regional effort to manage the wetlands surrounding the Green River. These channels cut through the grid of section lines and gravel roads, directing water toward natural outlets like Crooked Creek and Allen Creek.
