About this map

The Wabash River and Tippecanoe River define this Indiana landscape, tracing a path through the borderlands of White and Carroll Counties. Along the western edge, the impounded waters of Lake Freeman create a distinct shoreline character near Terrace Bay and Roth Park, a contrast to the agricultural grid that dominates the interior. The settlement of Yeoman sits at the heart of the township, while smaller locales like Sleeth and Patton dot the crossroads of a region deeply connected to its waterways and rural heritage.

Local history is preserved in a network of family and community burial grounds, including Yeoman Cem, Schock Cem, and the Bostetter Cem situated near Mitchell Cr. The survey details the convergence of natural drainages such as Pleasant Run and Rattlesnake Creek, which have long influenced the siting of farmsteads and roads. From the outskirts of East Monticello to the village of Idaville, the map documents the persistent layout of section lines and drainage ditches that organized this portion of the Wabash Valley.
