About this map

Wolcott and Remington anchor the southern reaches of this landscape, situated along the border of Jasper and White Counties. This modern survey reveals a highly organized agricultural grid defined by a complex network of drainage systems essential to Indiana's prairie farming. Named waterways like Winters Ditch, McKillip Ditch, and Spurgeon Ditch snake through the rectangular plots, following a centuries-old pattern of water management.

Genealogists will find the locations of several burial grounds, including Wolcott Cemetery, Dobbins Cemetery, and Milroy Cemetery, which remain as quiet landmarks in the rural countryside. The inclusion of the Culp Farms Airport in the northern sections speaks to the continued integration of aviation into modern industrial farming. The grid is further articulated by a dense web of county roads such as W 1000 S and Co RD 1100, reflecting the persistent township and range structure established during early settlement.
