About this map

The settlement of Star City serves as the primary hub of this agricultural landscape in Pulaski County, defined by a complex network of drainage ditches that have transformed the Indiana wetlands into productive farmland. Roads like S Railroad St, E Key St, and S Judson St anchor the local grid, while the community of Thornhope sits further south along the primary transit corridor.

The terrain is intricately carved by numerous waterways, including Mud Cr and Little Indian Cr, which are supported by man-made channels such as Stout Gise Ditch, Hoffman Ditch, and Bonnell Number Two Ditch. This intricate water management system, featuring other named segments like Hancock Ditch and Washburn Ditch, illustrates the mid-western tradition of land reclamation and its importance to the local rural economy.
