2013 Map of Point Isabel

About this map

Point Isabel serves as a central crossroads in this section of Grant County, where the agricultural landscape is defined by an intricate network of drainage and natural waterways. This 2013 survey illustrates the persistence of small settlements such as Normal, Cole, and Rigdon, which anchor a region primarily shaped by the management of its water resources. The systematic tiling and ditching of the land are evidenced by engineered features like Wimmer Ditch and Hutcherson Ditch, which support the intensive farming characteristic of the Indiana till plain.
