About this map

The town of Wheatland serves as the central hub of this Knox County landscape, situated where the CSX railroad and several regional routes converge. The terrain is defined by a sophisticated network of drainage and water management, featuring named channels like Steen Ditch, Roberson Ditch, and Patrick Ditch that weave through the farmland. To the east, the White River forms a natural boundary with Daviess County, creating a distinct riparian zone marked by Hyatt Island and several water bodies including Weaver Pond and Clear Pond.

Smaller residential clusters like Ragsdale and the Indian Creek Settlement reflect the area's rural development. Local history is anchored by landmarks such as the Odd Fellows Cem to the north and the uniquely named Godahavit Airport to the southeast. The map illustrates a landscape of established agriculture and localized aviation, with the prominent elevation of Toms Hill overlooking the river bottomlands.
