About this map

Pennville anchors the northeast corner of this 2013 survey, where its street grid—including Broadway St and E Lagro St—meets the winding course of the Salamonie River. The landscape is a complex network of agricultural drainage and natural waterways, defined by a series of named ditches and runs such as Allman Ditch and Oval Run. This pattern reflects a long-standing engineering tradition in the region, designed to manage the high water table for productive farming.

Small rural clusters and named crossroads like Ridertown, Trenton, and Converse dot the grid of county roads, providing a view of the persistent settlement patterns in this part of Indiana. In the southern reach, the map captures the northern edge of Dunkirk and the surrounding drainage features like Big Lick Cr and Thong Run, illustrating the transition from open agricultural fields to organized township centers.
