2013 Map of Templeton

About this map

The town of Oxford anchors the southwestern portion of this Benton County landscape, where the residential street grid gives way to a sprawling network of agricultural drainage systems and rural homesteads. This 2013 survey illustrates the heavy reliance on managed waterways in the region, with Greenwood Ditch, Brumm Ditch, and Darby Ditch cutting through the prairie to support the local farming economy. The settlement of Templeton sits at a major transit junction, while the smaller locality of Atkinson is positioned further northwest. Natural watercourses like Big Pine Cr and Little Pine Cr meander through the township, providing a clear contrast between the original hydrology and the engineered channels like Ella Brown Ditch that now define much of the territory's drainage pattern.
