About this map

Woodburn and Edgerton anchor this 2013 survey of the Indiana-Ohio borderlands, where the landscape is defined by a dense network of engineered drainage that has transformed the local hydrology. The prevalence of named ditches, such as Edgerton-Carson Ditch and Litzenberg Ditch, indicates the intensity of agricultural land management required in this region. These man-made channels intersect natural waterways like Flatrock Cr and Hoffman Cr, illustrating the complex relationship between regional development and the natural water table.

Small crossroad settlements and specialized sites punctuate the rural grid, including Townley, Baldwin, and the uniquely named Four Presidents Corners. Regional transport and recreation are represented by the Basting Airport, the Steinman Airport, and the Pleasant Valley Golf Course near the Church of God Camp. This detailed study provides a clear view of the area's twentieth-century evolution from native wetlands to a highly structured agricultural and residential corridor.
