About this map

Benton County agricultural lands are defined by a sophisticated network of drainage and creek systems in this 2019 study. The small community of Wadena sits near the headwaters of the Pine Cr Ditch, while the settlement of Lochiel is situated to the south. The landscape is characterized by its geometric road grid, including Co RD 900 N and Co RD 300 E, which navigate a terrain carved by waterways like Sugar Cr and Upper Sugar Cr.

Genealogists and local historians will find the Dehner Cem northwest of the main settlements, providing a specific point of interest for family research. The map also captures the northern edge of Fowler, the county seat, and the smaller location of Gravel Hill. Numerous named water features such as Montgomery Ditch, O'Brien Ditch, and Carpenter Cr illustrate the intensive water management required for this productive Indiana prairie region.
