About this map

The settlement of Tab serves as a focal point for this agrarian landscape on the border of Benton and Warren counties, marked by the presence of large grain Elevators along the Conrail line. The map captures a transition in regional transport as the Norfolk and Western tracks cross the northern section, while local life centers around the Township Sch and the community cluster at Locust Grove Ch and the adjacent Locust Grove Cem.

Water management is a defining characteristic of this prairie terrain, evidenced by the channelized Leak Ditch and the winding paths of Goose Creek and Jordan Creek. The grid of rural roads, including Hungry Hollow Road and County Line Road, illustrates the late-20th-century persistence of traditional Midwestern section-line surveying, supporting a landscape of large-scale farming punctuated by occasional industrial features like the Gravel Pit in the southeast.
