About this map

Windfall City and the neighboring community of Windfall serve as the primary hubs in this agricultural pocket of Tipton County. The landscape is defined by an extensive and complex drainage network, characterized by features like Rodgers Ditch, Monroe Trimble Ditch, and Askren Ditch, reflecting the historical effort to manage the area’s wetlands for productive farmland. These waterways weave between the small rural settlements of Hobbs, Curtisville, and New Lancaster, connected by a strict grid of county roads.

Genealogists will find several notable local burial grounds, including Brookside Cem near the northern border and Sandbank Cem to the south. The presence of Ellison Airport and the rail line along E Railroad St highlights the transport infrastructure supporting this region. Waterways like Turkey Creek and Bacon Prairie Cr provide the natural topographic breaks in an otherwise meticulously partitioned landscape.
