2013 Map of Parr

About this map

The Iroquois River winds through this Jasper County landscape, defining a region where intricate water management has shaped the land for agriculture. Small rural clusters and former rail-stop settlements like Parr, Rosebud, and Aix anchor the southern half of the map, while Virgie and Moffitt lie further north. The terrain is characterized by an extensive network of named waterways including Jungles Ditch, Bruner Ditch, and Rockwell Ditch. This system of drainage reflects the historical conversion of wetlands into productive farmland, a central theme in the development of Northwest Indiana. The rigid grid of county roads, such as Co RD-650 and Co RD-900, provides a window into the parceling and accessibility of these agricultural stretches during the early twenty-first century.
