2013 Map of Sweetser

About this map

Sweetser and Swayzee anchor this portion of Grant County, Indiana, where a complex network of man-made waterways like Zirkle Ditch and Grant Howard Ditch demonstrates the intensive agricultural engineering of the region. The landscape is dotted with several small settlements, including Mier, Herbst, and Sims, each connected by a rigid grid of rural roads and the diagonal passage of State Road 18. Natural drainage is primarily handled by Pipe Cr and Taylor Cr, which wind through the flat farmland. This map provides a detailed look at the local infrastructure during the early 21st century, showing how modern residential streets in towns like Converse integrate with the longstanding drainage systems that define the surrounding prairie.
