About this map

The Iroquois River meanders across the southern landscape of this Jasper County region, a terrain defined by an extensive network of drainage infrastructure. This intricate system includes the Stover Ditch, Davison Ditch, and Jungles Ditch, reflecting the area's agricultural development and efforts to manage the low-lying plains. Small rural centers are scattered along the section lines, including Parr, Aix, and Rosebud in the south, while Virgie and Moffitt anchor the northern reaches.

Genealogists and local historians can locate several family and community burial grounds, such as Sandridge Cemetery, Dunkard Cemetery, Yeoman Cemetery, and Price Cemetery. The map captures a moment in the early 21st century where the grid-based road system, featuring routes like Division Rd and numerous numbered county roads, remains the primary framework for this largely rural Indiana community.
