About this map

Parr and the surrounding agricultural lands of Jasper County define this landscape, where the Iroquois River cuts across the southwestern corner of the quadrangle. The terrain is characterized by an extensive network of drainage channels, including Thompson Ditch and Brunner Ditch, reflecting a highly managed hydrological system designed to support farming. Small rural settlements like Virgie and Aix serve as local hubs within the grid of county roads such as Co RD 900 and W State Rd 14.

For genealogists and local historians, the map preserves the location of several historic burial grounds, including Yeoman Cem and Sandridge Cem. The presence of Dunkard Cem suggests the religious heritage of the area's early settlers. The meticulous survey details show how property boundaries in T30N and T31N are intersected by older natural features and the engineered paths of the Stover Ditch and Oliver Ditch systems.
