2019 Map of North Judson

About this map

The town of North Judson serves as the primary hub of this northern Indiana landscape, where a dense grid of agricultural drainage reflects the region's history of reclaiming marshland for farming. The map reveals an intricate network of waterways including Monon Ditch, Payne Ditch, and Sharp Ditch, which channel water across the flat terrain. This managed hydrology was essential for the development of the area's productive fields and the expansion of the town. Outside the central grid of North Judson, the landscape is dotted with local landmarks such as Highland Cem and Saint Jacob Cem, providing valuable points of reference for genealogists tracing family histories in the region. The map also shows significant transport routes like the Rensselaer Trl, which connect these rural communities. The distinct boundary between Starke Co and Pulaski Co runs east-to-west across the lower third of the survey, marking the political division of these fertile farmlands.
