2016 Map of Roll

About this map

Agricultural drainage systems and small rural intersections define this landscape where Grant, Wells, and Blackford Counties meet. The terrain is crisscrossed by an extensive network of man-made watercourses including the Sweetser Improvement Ditch, Maddox Ditch, and Gillespie Ditch, reflecting the intensive land reclamation necessary for farming in this part of Indiana. Small clusters of settlement like Farrville, Jadden, and Roll appear as quiet crossroads, often identified by local cemeteries that serve as vital links for family historians. These include the Farrville Cem and Balsley Cem. The presence of the Lee Farms Airport near Dillman highlights the modern transition of the rural economy. This detailed survey preserves the precise locations of family-named landmarks and the intricate grid of county roads that have guided movement through these farmstead communities for generations.
