2010 Map of Templeton

About this map

Templeton and the eastern edge of Oxford anchor this rural landscape in Benton County, Indiana. The area is defined by an extensive drainage network developed to support its deep agricultural roots, featuring man-made waterways like Greenwood Ditch, Brumm Ditch, and Ella Brown Ditch. These ditches channel water toward the larger natural courses of Big Pine Creek and Little Pine Creek, which meander through the central and eastern portions of the quadrangle. For those researching local families, Justus Cemetery is located south of Oxford, providing a genealogical landmark within this grid of country roads. The map illustrates the 21st-century configuration of this prairie region, showing the continued reliance on both historical creek beds and engineered drainage to manage the fertile terrain.
