About this map

Woodburn and Edgerton anchor this landscape along the Indiana-Ohio state line, illustrating a classic Midwestern agricultural and drainage network. The terrain is defined by an intricate system of man-made waterways like Johnson Ditch, Spindler Ditch, and Mooney Ditch that channel water into natural courses such as Flatrock Creek. These ditches follow the section lines of the Public Land Survey System, creating a rigid geometric grid that dictates the placement of farmsteads and rural roads.

Small rural clusters and crossroads provide historical depth for genealogists, including Townley, Baldwin, McGill, and the curiously named Four Presidents Corners. Evidence of early 21st-century local aviation is found at Basting Airport and Steinman Airport, while the Sugar Ridge Cem offers a focal point for family history research. The path of Old US Hwy 30 cuts diagonally across the townships, marking a shift from the primary local road grid to larger regional transport routes.
