About this map

Wheatland serves as the central hub of this agricultural and riparian landscape in Knox County, situated at the junction of modern thoroughfares and historical watercourses. The town's grid sits just north of Steen Ditch and the winding path of Opossum Br, reflecting the complex drainage patterns essential to this riverfront region. To the east, the White River meanders in broad loops, creating features such as Hyatt Island and Toms Hill. The rural character of the area is further defined by smaller communities like Ragsdale and the Indian Creek Settlement to the north.

Water dominates the local geography, from the larger flow of the White River to managed waterways like Roberson Ditch and Frick Ditch. Notable local landmarks include Godahavit Airport and Storks Ferry, indicating the historical importance of both aerial and river crossing points. The landscape is also dotted with numerous water bodies such as Nicholson Pond, Mine Pond, and Clear Pond, which provide insights into the local topography and land use.
