2019 Map of Pershing

About this map

The Tippecanoe River meanders through the northern section of this Fulton County landscape, carving a winding path through a region defined by its extensive water management systems. The terrain is marked by an intricate network of drainage channels, including the Tilden Ditch, Mathias Ditch, and Cessna Ditch, which reflect the area's agricultural engineering. These man-made waterways converge with natural features like Mud Creek and the quiet waters of Anderson Lake and Lear Lake. Near the southern boundary, the Antioch Cem serves as a significant landmark for genealogists and local historians. The map also documents named infrastructure such as the Robbins Walters Ditch and the Kersey Finney Ditch, illustrating how generations of inhabitants have shaped the Indiana soil to manage the local watershed and reclaim the land for farming.
