About this map

Van Buren and Landess anchor this 2022 depiction of Grant County, Indiana, showcasing a landscape defined by an extensive network of agricultural drainage and small settlements. The area is marked by numerous ditches such as Buck Run Ditch, Necessity Ditch, and Pulley Ditch, which illustrate the long-term engineering required to maintain the region's productive farmland. Small communities and named crossroads like Hanfield, Shadeland, and Dooville are interspersed between the larger centers of Van Buren and the outskirts of Gas City.

Genealogists will find several burial sites including Fairview Cem, Landess Cem, and Burson Cem near Lake Wood. The terrain is relatively level, punctuated by water bodies like Lincoln Country Club Lake and Taylor Lake. The persistent grid of rural roads, such as Salem Pike and Montpelier Pike, connects these historic points of interest, reflecting a century of growth and steady habitation in the heart of Indiana.
