1962 Map of Wolcott

About this map

Wolcott serves as the primary hub of this landscape, situated at the southern edge of a highly organized agricultural grid where the Toledo Peoria and Western railroad runs east-to-west. The terrain is defined by an extensive drainage network, including the Bice Ditch, Keefe Ditch, and Mckillip Ditch, which redirect water across the township boundaries of Milroy, Jordan, and Princeton. This water management system underscores the intensive land use required for farming in the Jasper and White County borderlands.
