About this map

The agrarian landscape of Benton County is defined here by a precise grid of rural roads and an extensive network of managed waterways. In this 2010 survey, the small community of Wadena stands at the intersection of East 600 North and North 200 East, while Lochiel is situated further south along the same corridor. The county seat, Fowler, occupies the southern margin, providing a contrast to the surrounding open fields.

Water management is central to the area's geography, with Upper Sugar Creek and Sugar Creek meandering through the township. These natural channels are supplemented by a complex system of agricultural drainage, including Montgomery Ditch, O'Brien Ditch, and Pine Creek Ditch. For genealogists, the Dehner Cemetery serves as a lone landmark of early settlement history, while Gravel Hill identifies a specific topographic and geological feature in the southwestern portion of the quadrangle.
