About this map

The White River winds through this Knox County landscape, defining the eastern boundary of a region shaped by agricultural drainage and riverine commerce. The town of Wheatland sits as a central hub, surrounded by a complex network of managed waterways including Steen Ditch, Roberson Ditch, and Frick Ditch, which underscore the area's history of land reclamation for farming. These engineered channels cut through the terrain alongside natural features like Ghost Hollow Creek and Nimnicht Creek.

Evidence of early 21st-century infrastructure and local history is visible in landmarks such as Storks Ferry and the Bennington Levee, while the northern settlement of Ragsdale and the Odd Fellows Cemetery provide points of interest for genealogists. The presence of the Godahavit Airport and water bodies like Nicholson Pond and Mine Pond further illustrate the intersection of local industry, recreation, and transportation in this rural Indiana corridor.
