About this map

Rock Creek Lake dominates the southwestern corner of this Jasper and Marshall County landscape, where the waters of Rock Creek are impounded within a valley of agricultural fields. The settlement of Newburg sits centrally along the eastern border, positioned near the headwaters of Big Bear Creek. To the north, Gilman serves as a primary hub for the surrounding rural townships, connected by a network of gravel and paved roads such as Hwy T38 N and Hwy F17 E.

Genealogists and local historians can locate several burial grounds preserved among the grid of section lines, including Mount Pleasant Cemetery and Green Cemetery. The terrain is defined by its drainage patterns, with Sugar Creek cutting through the southeast and Brush Creek winding through the center. This survey captures the region as a stable agricultural community, where the land use is tightly organized around these vital waterways and established family-named roads.
