About this map

Shadeland and the surrounding agricultural lands of Tippecanoe County are defined by a complex network of drainage systems and small rural settlements in this 2013 survey. The landscape is heavily managed for agriculture, evidenced by the numerous engineered waterways such as Haywood Ditch, Elliott Ditch, and O'Neall Ditch that crisscross the terrain to support the fertile soil. These man-made channels complement natural watercourses like Little Wea Creek and Flint Creek, illustrating the long-term human modification of the local hydrology.

Small communities like Taylor, South Raub, and Corwin serve as anchors for the local road network, which follows a rigid grid punctuated by thoroughfares like Sleeper Road. Near the southern portion of the map, Ratcliff Airport stands as a notable landmark amidst the fields. This map provides a clear view of the intersection between established natural features and the infrastructure required for modern Midwestern farming.
