2013 Map of Wolcott

About this map

Wolcott sits at the intersection of a precise agricultural grid and a complex drainage network in this White County survey. The landscape is defined by its extensive system of man-made waterways, including Bice Ditch, Frank May Ditch, and Spurgeon Ditch, which manage the water levels of these productive Indiana plains. These ditches often bear family names, suggesting the lineage of land improvement and drainage districts that transformed the terrain for farming.
