2013 Map of New Ross

About this map

New Ross and Jamestown anchor this western Indiana landscape, characterized by the intricate drainage systems that define the rural agricultural layout. The map traces the winding paths of Big Raccoon Cr as it snakes through the center of the quadrangle, joined by smaller tributaries like Little Raccoon Cr and Cornstalk Cr. This 2013 survey illustrates the persistent importance of local thoroughfares such as New Ross Rd and Old State Rd, which parallel the modern highway corridors. The southern portion of the sheet is marked by the headwaters of Big Walnut Cr and the steady course of Haw Cr, reflecting the region's historical reliance on these watercourses for both boundary-making and drainage. In the eastern sector, the transition from the village of Jamestown into the surrounding fields is clearly delineated by the grid of county roads and local features like Wells Ditch.
