About this map

Agricultural drainage systems define this section of Pulaski County, Indiana, where a complex network of man-made waterways like Big Monon Ditch and Lincoln Ditch has reshaped the natural hydrology. The landscape is structured by a rigid section grid of rural roads, including Co RD 100 N and Co RD 100 S, which connect isolated farmsteads and family burial grounds. These small cemeteries, such as Sutton Cem, Bowman Cem, Idle Cem, and Kosters Cem, provide critical links for genealogists researching the local families who settled this fertile Midwestern prairie. The naming conventions of the waterways—ranging from the Stromberg-Tetzloff Ditch to the Stout-Hodge Ditch—frequently reflect the surnames of the landowners responsible for the region's massive engineering efforts to manage surface water and support industrial-scale farming operations.
