About this map

Ridgeville sits as the primary hub in this eastern Indiana landscape, where the Mississinewa River cuts a winding path through a highly organized agricultural grid. This 2013 survey illustrates a region defined by its water management, evidenced by the extensive network of man-made waterways like Miller Ditch, De Armond Ditch, and Mendenhall Ditch that supplement natural streams such as Bear Cr and Brooks Cr.

Smaller rural settlements like New Mount Pleasant and Powers punctuate the intersections of long straight county roads, including S Como Rd and S Mount Pleasant Rd. The map reveals a land heavily shaped by drainage engineering, with numerous small runs and ditches such as Tough Run, Fetid Cr, and Potent Run carving through the till plain to support the local farming economy. Researchers can trace the sophisticated intersection of modern infrastructure and the natural river valley.
