About this map

Wolcott anchors the southern portion of this landscape, situated along the border of Jasper and White Counties. The town's grid is clearly defined by local streets such as W School St and W Range St, reflecting its role as a local agricultural and transportation hub. The surrounding terrain is defined by an extensive network of drainage systems essential to the region's productive farmland, including the meandering paths of Bice Ditch, Frank May Ditch, and McKillip Ditch.

Genealogical researchers will find several well-preserved burial sites scattered across the township lines, notably Wolcott Cem just east of the town center, and the more remote Dobbins Cem and Milroy Cem to the north. The presence of Culp Farms Airport in the northern section highlights the continued importance of large-scale farming operations in this part of Indiana. This survey captures the precisely engineered water management of the prairie, where features like Winters Ditch and Spurgeon Ditch dictate the movement of water across the flat landscape.
