About this map

The town of Sandborn serves as the central hub for this portion of Knox County, where the agricultural landscape is defined by an intricate network of drainage systems. Key waterways such as Brewer Ditch, Hamilton Ditch, and Beehunter Ditch illustrate the long-term engineering required to manage the low-lying terrain. To the west, the settlement of Pleasantville sits near the edges of More Lake and Reservoir Number Twenty-nine, while Marco marks the northeastern reach of the survey area.

The topographic detail highlights significant geographic features like Cane Green Bottom, a name suggesting the historical flora of these Indiana lowlands. Local history researchers can trace the precise layout of rural routes like Co RD-600 and Long Tree RD as they navigate between established family farmsteads and specialized features such as Calico Slash Ditch. The map provides a clear view of the intersection between residential growth and the essential water management infrastructure of the early 21st century.
